Cloud gaming has gone through a cycle, and it seems to be on the upswing again, with more startups. One such example is Parsec, which is coming out of stealth today as a new cloud-gaming company.

Parsec is unveiling a low-latency, 60 frames per second interactive video streaming service so that PC gamers can play their favorite games remotely. With this technology, PC gamers can also share their PCs with their friends, so they can start playing high quality games without owning the required hardware. Additionally, Parsec is opening access to its applications programming interface, which uses the same technology and can be embedded in other software/hardware products.
