Graphics card maker Nvidia is redoubling its efforts to carve out a niche for itself in the metaverse. On Tuesday, the company unveiled a new set of developer tools focused on metaverse environments, including new AI capabilities, simulations, and other creative assets.
Creators using the Omniverse Kit, along with apps like Nucleus, Audio2Face, and Machinima, will be able to access the new updates. Nvidia says one of the main functions of the tools will be to help improve the construction of “accurate digital twins and realistic avatars.”
The quality of interaction in the metaverse is a hot topic in the industry, with developers and users weighing quality of experiences over quantity. An example of this could be seen during the first metaverse fashion week, which took place in spring.
Most of the comments from the event referred to the lack of quality of the digital environments, the clothes and, above all, the avatars with which people interacted.
Nvidia’s new toolkit includes the Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE). The developers claim that ACE will improve the conditions for creating “virtual assistants and digital humans.”
“With Omniverse ACE, developers can build, configure and deploy their avatar apps on almost any engine, on any public or private cloud.”
Digital identity is a key point of the Audio2Face app update. Nvidia’s official statement says that users can now direct the emotion of digital avatars over time, including full-face animation.
It is clear that involvement in the metaverse will continue to develop. In fact, it is estimated that the market share of the metaverse should exceed USD 50,000 million in the next four years, indicating an increase in participation. In addition, new events, workplaces, and even college classes are emerging in digital reality.
Therefore, more users will seek to create digital versions of themselves. Developing the technology to support mass adoption of the metaverse is crucial.
Another addition to the Nvidia update includes Nvidia PhysX, which is an “advanced real-time engine for simulating realistic physics.” This means developers can include realistic reactions to metaverse interactions that obey the laws of physics.
NVIDIA AI technology has been a important element in the creation of spaces of social interaction in the digital world so far. Even more so now when it releases new apps for developers to improve the metaverse.
