@ 2017/05/12Goal is to provide most consistent, believable physics on market
During the annual GTC keynote on Wednesday, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced a new project called the Holodeck, an upcoming social VR experience that will allow multiple users to interact in a single digital space.
After announcing some brief statistics on the rise of GPU computing, Jen-Hsun presented a live video feed showing four Nvidia employees inside the virtual reality experience. Each employee was dawning an exoskeleton similar to a Stormtrooper’s outfit from Star Wars, though each individual was only visible from above the torso. The feed then showed a high-resolution model of a sports car, allowing all four employees to directly interact with the model by opening its doors and entering the cabin.
