Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for interacting with a graphical user interface. The technique involves generating a first image of a graphical user interface having a plurality of input fields and determining first input field information associated with a first input field included in the plurality of input fields. The first input field information includes a first input field type and a first input field location. The technique further involves transmitting the first image and the first input field information to a first device and receiving a first input event associated with the first input field from the first device. Finally, the technique involves generating a second image of the graphical user interface based on the first input event and transmitting the second image to the first device.

Abstract: A client computer, a graphics processing unit (GPU) and a method for hybrid graphics and text rendering. One embodiment of the client computer operable to display a remotely rendered image includes: (1) a network interface controller (NIC) configured to receive the remotely rendered image and un-rendered text, (2) a processor configured to generate a text overlay from the un-rendered text, and (3) a display operable to display the remotely rendered image and the text overlay.
