You can play with that using X and OpenGL. That is to say, there is
already a network binding and implementation of OpenGL running over a
network. You might also want to look at the history of PEX. Which was
designed as a 3D API that could be run over a network. Also, if you can
find anything on them, the Evans&Sutherland PS300 series of graphics
workstations all did 3D over a wire.
