WU06Collaborative Design in the Industrial Metaverse: An introduction to NVIDIA Omniverse
Delivered by NVIDIA & Rhino Developers, McNeel
As the field of architecture and engineering continues to evolve, there is an increasing need for powerful and flexible tools that can help designers create, visualize, and communicate their designs in a collaborative and efficient manner.
NVIDIA Omniverse is an extendible platform that uses open formats and provides designers with an immersive and collaborative environment to create, simulate, and visualize their designs.
Learning Objectives:
In this course, you will learn how to use NVIDIA Omniverse to create designs and simulations, collaborate with other designers and stakeholders, and create stunning visualizations of your designs, in real-time. We will also cover some of the foundations of Omniverse, such as USD, an open-source data storage system, and MDL, an open-source material definition.
Requirements:
Any attendee should have a base knowledge of design applications, such as Rhino and Grasshopper, Revit and SketchUp, as examples.
Each attendee should bring their own laptop. We will provide a VM for each attendee with all required applications installed.
