RealityEngine refers to a 3D graphics hardware architecture and a family of graphics systems that implemented the aforementioned hardware architecture that was developed and manufactured by Silicon Graphics during the early to mid 1990s. The RealityEngine was positioned as Silicon Graphics' high-end visualization hardware for their MIPS/IRIX platform and was used exclusively in their Onyx family of visualization systems, which are sometimes referred to as "graphics supercomputers" or "visualization supercomputers". The RealityEngine was marketed to and used by large organizations such as companies and universities that are involved in computer simulation, digital content creation, engineering and research.
The RealityEngine was a board set comprised of a Geometry Engine board, one to four Raster Memory board(s), and a DG2 Display Generator board.
Its Geometry Engine was based around a 50 MHz Intel i860XP.
The VGX was a cost-reduced RealityEngine and as a consequence, its features and performance was below that of the RealityEngine.
The RealityEngine2, branded RealityEngine2, is an upgraded RealityEngine introduced towards the end of the RealityEngine's life. It was succeeded by the InfiniteReality in 1996.
It uses the GE10 Geometry Engine board, RM4 Raster Memory board and DG2 Display Generator board.
