I'm surprised we still don't have an X-like "render on the drawing device" model. Rather than sending pixel, you send a higher abstraction model from which the UI can be drawn.

You can theoretically serialize draw calls, but that's significantly more complicated than sending over a video stream.

Then you lose the power of a second computing device if all view rendering happens on the AVP.

Absolutely. This is how RDP works as well. It's one the few areas where I think the Windows ecosystem has a better approach.

We still had this (--NSDisplay ?) in the first Developer Previews of MacOSX.

I suspect as hardware encode gets better and wireless bandwidth gets greater there’s less and less merit in this.
