I found Juice to work decently for graphical applications too (e.g., games, CAD software). Latency was about what you'd expect for video encode + decode + network: 5-20ms on a LAN if I recall correctly.

Finally a short story for the record. In 1968, the Communications of the ACM published a text of mine under the title "The goto statement considered harmful", which in later years would be most frequently referenced, regrettably, however, often by authors who had seen no more of it than its title, which became a cornerstone of my fame by becoming a template: we would see all sorts of articles under the title "X considered harmful" for almost any X, including one titled "Dijkstra considered harmful". But what had happened? I had submitted a paper under the title "A case against the goto statement", which, in order to speed up its publication, the editor had changed into a "letter to the Editor", and in the process he had given it a new title of his own invention! The editor was Niklaus Wirth.

As a sibling commenter mentioned, using a marching cube algorithm is one approach. 0fps [1] has a good blog post about using Progressively Ordered Primitive buffers to implement Level of Detail in Minecraft-like games. (There is an interesting comment on that blog replying to that post.) Another blog [2] shows a similar implementation in a Minecraft-like game call "SeaOfMemes".

On a side note, I've never heard of Terasology—and it's been around for 9 years(!) it seems. I'll definitely check it out.
