Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's iconic kitchen, where he presented three pandemic-era keynote addresses in 2021 was entirely fake… even the man himself.

Huang made the presentations GTC 2021 keynote, and no one noticed that it was a virtual Huang in a virtual kitchen.

About the only thing real was Huang’s voice, Nvidia said that he did do the presentation, sort of.

"Through all but 14 seconds of the hour and 48-minute presentation — from 1:02:41 to 1:02:55 — Huang himself spoke in the keynote", the company's blog post now reads, so while the Jensen you saw in his virtual kitchen may have been a virtual model, the voice you hear is Huang giving the keynote.

The virtual presentation used Nvidia Omniverse, a multidisciplinary collaboration tool for creating 3D virtual workspaces.

The virtual presentation in April 2021 raised no suspicions among the tens of thousands of industry professionals and press who covered the event. Nvidia's Omniverse was that good at recreating what has become a familiar scene.
