A reality where Huang is both alive and more alive

The chipmaker named after a Roman vengeance daemon Nvidia’s boss says he wants to create an alternative universe which is is the digital twin of this one.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Time Magazine that he wanted to create a metaverse which is "a virtual world that is a digital twin of ours".

Huang credits author Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, filled with collectives of shared 3-D spaces and virtually enhanced physical spaces that are extensions of the Internet, for conjuring the metaverse. This is already playing out with the massively popular online games like Fortnite and Minecraft, where users create richly imagined virtual worlds. Now the concept is being put to work by Nvidia and others.

Partnering with Nvidia, BMW is using a virtual digital twin of a factory in Regensburg, Germany, to virtually plan new workflows before deploying the changes in real time in their physical factory. The metaverse, says Huang, "is where we will create the future" and transform how the world's biggest industries operate.
