So how does Omniverse work? We can break it down into three big parts. How NVIDIA Omniverse Creates, Connects Worlds Within the Metaverse BMW Group uses NVIDIA Omniverse to create a future factory, a perfect “digital twin” designed entirely in digital and simulated from beginning to end in NVIDIA Omniverse. Omniverse is in use across a growing number of industries for projects such as design collaboration and creating “ digital twins,” simulations of real-world buildings and factories. Those ideas are already being put to work with NVIDIA Omniverse, which, simply put, is a platform for connecting 3D worlds into a shared virtual universe. “Ultimately we’re talking about creating another reality, another world, that’s as rich as the real world,” Lebaredian says. The metaverse will become a platform that’s not tied to any one place, physical or digital. The metaverse will become a platform that’s not tied to any one app or any single place - digital or real, explains Rev Lebaredian, vice president of simulation technology at NVIDIA.Īnd just as virtual places will be persistent, so will the objects and identities of those moving through them, allowing digital goods and identities to move from one virtual world to another, and even into our world, with augmented reality. Video-conferencing tools, which link far-flung colleagues together amidst the global COVID pandemic, are another hint at what’s to come.īut the vision laid out by Neal Stephenson’s 1992 classic novel “Snow Crash” goes well beyond any single game or video-conferencing app. Massive online social games, like battle royale juggernaut Fortnite and user-created virtual worlds like Minecraft and Roblox, reflect some elements of the idea. Just as the physical universe is a collection of worlds that are connected in space, the metaverse can be thought of as a bunch of worlds, too. © 1996-2006 Bruce Damer, All Rights Reserved.What is the metaverse?

This conference series continued until early 2003 with the final event, Avatars2002, held in the Active Worlds platform. Thereafter we moved the conference "into Cyberspace" with the groundbreaking Avatars98. The annual Contact Consortium Avatars conferences started with two physical conferences held in San Francisco of about 500 attendees each, Earth to Avatars in October 1996 and Avatars97 a year later.
