Here are some other announcements we think you might be interested in:
NVIDIA Issac Sim Cloud - Learn More
- At GTC, we announced NVIDIA Isaac Sim on the cloud, providing developers with three options to access photoreal, physically-accurate robotics simulation through newly released Omniverse Cloud, AWS RoboMaker, or self-managed instances using NGC downloads.
NVIDIA DRIVE Sim Neural Reconstruction Engine - Learn More
- NVIDIA researchers have developed an AI pipeline, known as the Neural Reconstruction Engine, that constructs a 3D scene from recorded sensor data in NVIDIA DRIVE Sim. These AI tools bring the real world directly in simulation to increase realism and speed up production. NRE uses multiple AI networks to create interactive 3D test environments where developers can modify the scene and see how the world reacts. Developers can change scenarios, add synthetic objects, and apply randomizations to make the initial scenarios even more challenging. DRIVE Sim can also be used for human in-the-loop testing and is the virtual studio where car designers and software engineers can collaborate and simulate the complete experience of the end user.
- NVIDIA Modulus is a framework that provides a customizable training platform for developing physics machine learning (neural network) models. Today we are announcing a new version, Modulus 22.09. Highlights for this release include:
- Increased composition flexibility for neural operator architectures
- Features to improve training convergence and performance
- Significant improvements to the user experience with documentation enhancements
- NVIDIA DLSS 3is a neural graphics technology that multiplies performance using AI to create entirely new frames and display higher resolution through image reconstruction—all while delivering best-in-class image quality and responsiveness
RTX Path Tracking SDK - Learn More
- The NVIDIA RTX™ Path Tracing Software Development Kit (SDK) merges years of best practices within real-time ray tracing and neural graphics development for building a real-time path tracer.
