SINGAPORE—Oct. 10, 2017—NVIDIA today announced it has opened early
access to NVIDIA® Holodeck™,
its intelligent virtual reality platform, for select designers and
developers.
access to NVIDIA® Holodeck™,
its intelligent virtual reality platform, for select designers and
developers.
NVIDIA Holodeck brings designers,
developers and their customers together from anywhere in the world to discover,
build and explore creations in a highly realistic, collaborative and physically
simulated VR environment.

build and explore creations in a highly realistic, collaborative and physically
simulated VR environment.
The platform’s immersive,
photoreal experience drives creativity, provides a faster and more accurate
understanding of a scene or model, streamlines the review process and reduces
the need for physical prototyping. Because of its realistic graphics, accurate
real-world physics and multi-user collaboration, Holodeck is already used as a
powerful design lab for AI agents trained with the NVIDIA Isaac simulator.

can:
• Render large and highly detailed models
photorealistically, in real time, at life-like scale. Designers can save
significant time focusing on their designs instead of simplifying complex
models to achieve a smooth experience in VR.

• Create and interact with people, robots and
objects in a physically simulated environment. By understanding how a
project looks, feels, sounds and behaves in different environments before
deploying them in the real world, designers can create superior, safer
products.

the same virtual space. Even globally dispersed teams can explore and
review the same model together to bring better products to market, faster.

• Enhance workflows with AI-powered
simulation tools. Intelligent machines can be deployed and trained in Holodeck’s
realistic simulated environments. Intelligence can then be transferred between
the virtual and real worlds, so machines can be deployed more safely, quickly
and cost-effectively.

Forthcoming updates to Holodeck
will address the growing demand for the deployment of deep learning techniques
in virtual environments and include capabilities for AI-based training,
simulation, content creation and the discovery of new ideas.

“NVIDIA Holodeck empowers
designers to bring peers, partners and customers along the design journey to
explore intricate, life-like 3D worlds together and ensure that the best ideas
are discovered,” said Bob Pette, vice president of Professional Visualization
at NVIDIA. “It’s an unparalleled environment for deploying and testing AI-based
agents — and will only get better as we add more AI capabilities.”

Industry Support for NVIDIA Holodeck
“Virtual reality is one of the
leading opportunities for design,” said Hao Ko, principal architect at Gensler.
“This technology, such as NVIDIA Holodeck, allows architects to explore their
designs in photorealistic fidelity and at life-like scale. Being able to ‘walk
the halls’ of a building that is yet to be built brings new understanding to
the design choices.”

“At KPF we use VR to enable
real-world and model scale immersion of our designs,” said Cobus Bothma, senior
associate principal and applied research director at KPF. “NVIDIA Holodeck is
going to enable us to deliver on this potential, with amazingly accurate
visuals and physics. And, it will allow us to collaborate with designers in our
worldwide offices, our partners and our clients, in real time. That’s a
powerful game changer for our industry.”

“During our design process, teams
of our engineers and scientists work together to imagine an idea, plan a
design, create that model, experiment and test that solution, then take time to
reiterate and improve the original — all steps that are crucial to mission
success at NASA,” said Frank Delgado, lead for NASA’s Hybrid Reality Lab. “With
Holodeck, we will be able to clearly visualize our models, easily collaborate
in a physically simulated environment, and review to ensure the efficiency and
safety of our designs.”
