…and work together in an office. Omniverse This month NVIDIA GTC also took place online, with CEO Jensen Huang delivering his keynote from his own private kitchen. One of the key announcements is Omniverse, a real-time raytraced design environment. Jensen Huang calls it “an open platform for collaboration and simulation.” This is a new platform for editors and viewers to share scenes and models. The content is rendered in raytracing so what you see inside Omniverse—such as light bouncing behavior, reflections, and shadows—is physically accurate. In terms of compute cycle, these features are expensive to generate, so Omniverse uses a…
