NVIDIA announces a broad initiative to develop Universal Scene Description (USD), the open source and extensible language of 3D worlds, to become a foundation for the open metaverse and the 3D internet.
Working with USD creator Pixar, as well as Adobe, Autodesk, Siemens and a host of other leading companies, NVIDIA will take a multi-year roadmap to expand USD’s capabilities beyond visual effects, enabling it to better support industrial metaverse applications in architecture, engineering, manufacturing, scientific computing, robotics and industrial digital twins.
Marcio Aguiar, director of the brand’s Enterprise division for Latin America, said:
“We are very proud to release more new features on this collaborative platform that provides a wide range of content creation tools. The metaverse will be the foundation of many industries for years to come, and this novelty further demonstrates that.”
In its special presentation at SIGGRAPH, the company shared upcoming updates to develop USD. This includes international character support, which will allow users from all countries and languages to participate in USD. Support for geospatial coordinates will enable city-scale and planetary-scale digital twins. In addition, real-time streaming of IoT data will enable the development of digital twins synchronized with the physical world.
To accelerate USD development and adoption, the company also announced the development of an open USD compliance certification and testing package that developers can freely use to test their creations in USD and certify the production of the expected result.
Rev Lebaredian, Vice President of Omniverse Technology and Simulation at NVIDIA, commented:
“In addition to media and entertainment, USD will give 3D artists, designers, developers and other professionals the ability to work collaboratively in diverse workflows and applications while creating virtual worlds. Working with our partner community, we are investing in USD so it can serve as a foundation for architecture, manufacturing, robotics, engineering and more.”
