While we work on trapping an actual genie in a bottle, here's the next best thing - a box full of smoke. This demo not only shows the graphics horsepower of the GeForce 8800, but the computational horsepower as well. As you move the smoke generator within the box, the computational fluid dynamics simulation is being processed in real time on the GPU. Yes, all the Navier-Stokes eqations associated with the smoke movent are being evaluated on the GPU! This enables unprecedented performance for real-time fluid simulation. See how easily the smoke moves as you swirl the smoke generator. Watch how vortices are generated as you quickly move the smoke ball through the volume. For a small surprise, press the "N" key to generate a familiar shape in the field of smoke. Hmmm, maybe there is a genie in there after all.
