News JVTech Nvidia makes the metaverse even more realistic
While various giants of the digital sector want to develop their own metaverse, Nvidia does not intend to sit still. The graphics card manufacturer has announced several new features to help future developers of the 3D virtual world.
With its graphics collaboration platform Nvidia Omniverse, the company has launched a host of innovative new tools to support the development of immersive 3D spaces. These programs for creators and developers will help make the digital world more realistic.
It was on Tuesday, August 9 that the graphics processor industry giant confirmed its ambition for the metaverse. Nvidia has announced a series of development tools that are united in the Omniverse Kit.
It is precisely this metaverse-based software that opens the field of possibilities for the virtual world of tomorrow. By using the Omniverse Kit and programs such as Nucleus, Machinima and Audio2Face, the creators of the metaverse will benefit from new possibilities that become increasingly realistic.
This Omniverse kit could live up to the expectation of metaverse users, which is the quality of the avatars and their interactions. According to Nvidia, developers with their tools will allow users to create true “accurate digital twins”.
An innovation made possible in particular by the new engine: Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE). This improves the realism of the emotions of avatars and digital assistants equipped with artificial intelligence.
In a logic of interoperability, the company explains that “With Omniverse ACE, developers can build, configure, and deploy avatar applications on virtually any engine, on any public or private cloud.”
In combination with Audio2Face, the kit will also allow developing an immersive experience by enhancing the animation of faces during social interactions in the metaverse. The new software update allows users to represent their emotions as faithfully as possible through their avatar in the virtual world.
Using its skills, Nvidia plans to establish itself in the metaverse well ahead of its competitors. Indeed, while AMD has been recalled by Meta to allow the metaverse to work across media, Nvidia seems more sensitive to the subject.
The company is part of a group of several giants working to develop standards for the metaverse of the future. The massive partnership of the Open Standards Forum constitutes a global agreement on the interoperability of the metaverse and its technical standards.
Under this alliance there are several giants such as:
- Nvidia
- Meta (Facebook)
- Microsoft
- Adobe
- Ali Baba
- Epic games
- Nvidia
- Ikea
- Huawei
Although the metaverse is going through its first real estate crisis, it’s clear that companies still want to move towards this concept. The commitment is largely motivated by the hope that one day the metaverse market will become essential. Furthermore, if the bet turns out to be a winner, the metaverse’s economy could reach $50 billion, according to US bank Morgan Stanley.
If this is the case, it is important for the industry giants to develop the graphical and physical aspect of this famous virtual world, as users currently seem to be unconvinced by the realism of the various metaverses available in the market.
