The Man Behind NVIDIA's Omniverse: Building A Simulation Of The Real World Using AI & 3D Tech 🌐

Rare insider perspective from NVIDIA's VP of Omniverse & Simulation Technology at SIGGRAPH 2023

Hello Creative Technologists!

Today is all about Connecting Bits and Atoms: How NVIDIA is simulating the real world by pulling together their expertise in computer graphics, simulation and of course, artificial intelligence.

NVIDIA saw the future of AI before most, and they're not holding back.

Join me as I sit down with Rev Lebaredian for a rare insider perspective on their groundbreaking vision.

📺 In this 30-minute deep dive, we'll explore:

• How NVIDIA foresaw the end of Moore's Law years ago

• Their "crazy" bet on GPU computing that paved the way for AI

• The 3 waves of NVIDIA’s long-term strategy

• How Omniverse converges graphics, simulation, and AI

• Leveraging digital twins to train AI agents at scale

• Using AI to make virtual world creation accessible to anyone

• The impact it's having on transportation, robotics, architecture & more

🪄 A Little VFX/AI Spice:

Since this interview was recorded in a rather ordinary LA convention center, I took the liberty of using Segment Anything + ControlNet to transport us to a more fitting environment. It's something you've got to see! I’m suprised with how well it held up for a 30 min video. Rotobrush, stand aside SAM is in town!

Key Announcements at SIGGRAPH 2023

But wait… a lot more happened last week at SIGGRAPH 2023, where Jensen Huang did a keynote announcement of a slew of cool stuff.

I’ve covered the most interesting stuff on Twitter… I mean X (this is clearly going to take a while to get used!). Onto the tweets.. I mean posts:

1/ NVIDIA's Omniverse Unveils Next-Level Integration and Capabilities in Jensen’s Keynote:

2/ Hugging Face Partners With NVIDIA To Simplify Model Fine-Tuning For Indie Developers:

3/ Shutterstock Launches Innovative Text-to-360 Image Generation Tool Using NVIDIA's Picasso Cloud Platform:

4/ It was also fun to meet up with AI creator friends in 3D :)

One Last Thing:

I spend a non-trivial amount of time creating quality posts like this, and I’d like to keep ‘em coming. It would really help me out if you:

• 🔁 RT this post on Twitter to share with your audience (it really does help!)

• 🎁 Stay tuned for the 2x NVIDIA GPU giveaway winners to be announced this week — got some amazing entries and I am using AI to pick the winners!

• 🔖 Cohort 2 of my Maven course on Generative AI is now open for enrollment! Use the code FAM15 for 15% off.

• 📺 And if you haven’t already, subscribe to my new YouTube channel (Creative Tech Digest) dedicated to all things creativity, technology, and society… Essentially a video companion to this newsletter :)

Cheers,
