Nvidia is bringing its Omniverse technology to Apple’s Vision Pro headset
Nvidia (NVDA) says that it is bringing its Omniverse enterprise technology to Apple’s (AAPL) Vision Pro AR/VR headset. The graphics chip giant announced the news during its annual GTC conference in San Jose on Monday.
The idea is to let developers use Nvidia’s Omniverse tools in an AR/VR setting via the Vision Pro. Nvidia’s Omniverse is a platform that allows programmers to create digital twins of objects and locations that they can use to determine how they’ll behave or look in the real world.
Nvidia says organizations can use its Omniverse tool to create things like factories in a digital space so that they can understand how workers will move around the facility before they ever put shovels into the ground.
During GTC, Nvidia showed how a designer could use a car configuration tool via the Vision Pro to manipulate different aspects of a vehicle and then virtually step into it.
The company says it’s able to do this via its Omniverse Cloud APIs, or application programming interfaces, and its Graphics Delivery Network that streams directly to the Vision Pro via the cloud.
