Are Nvidia releasing a game streaming technology? They hint

Following a conversation at GamesCom 2011, Nvidia has hinted that it is experimenting with technologies that would allow users to stream their games from PCs to other devices around their homes.

The Nvidia representative spoken to wouldn't offer any confirmation or of how serious the company was about the idea, but did lay down heavy hints.

'Imagine you're playing Crysis 2 on your PC and you're able to stream it around your home to a tablet device, which you could then plug into your TV if you wanted,'

When it comes to new technologies like OnLive, people will have the choice to pay to stream it over the internet, or do it themselves.
The comments came in response to questions about the imminent launch of OnLive in the UK, a new cloud-powered game streaming service due to launch in the UK this September.

I don't really see the benefits or why you'd want to steam a game to another device, I assume it'd just be like standing behind them, right?
