11:21 am – Like RTX acceleration for other authoring applications
11:22 am – And of course it wouldn’t be an NVIDIA presentation without a mention of Omniverse somewhere.
11:22 am – Lifestyle video showing how to use Omniverse for content creation

11:29 AM EST – And back to Jeff. It’s time for the recap!
11:30 am – Oh, it was just for the graphics. Let’s move on to NVIDIA Robotics
11:32 am – NVIDIA appears to be focusing on Isaac, a simulation platform for training robotic AI models.
11:33 AM EST – Over 1000 companies are part of the Isaac platform
11:33 AM EST – Bring back Isaac availability from cloud services
11:34 AM EST – And soon Isaac will be able to handle multiple robots in one instance
11:36 am – Today we are announcing the next release of Isaac.New conveyor building tools, radar/lidar support and more
11:36 am – “The new Isaac Sim has something for everyone”
11:37 am – And to self-driving cars
11:38 am – A rebuild of NVIDIA’s Drive platform and the DGX and OVX systems that underpin it
11:39 AM EST – As well as talking about Drive’s benefits of centralizing the many microcontrollers used throughout the car,
11:40 AM EST – On the other hand, the move to EVs allows car designers to redesign systems and incorporate new hardware and features (such as self-driving computers).
11:41 am – NVIDIA announces partnership with Foxconn to build EVs based on Drive Hyperion platform.
