The 'metaverso' of Zuckerberg was that idea covered to reality, but Nvidia seems to have all possible technologies to shape his virtual world.Omniverse Avatar comes with the intention of transferring business technologies to a virtual environment through the help of artificial intelligence and recommendation and simulation motors.
NVIDIA has announced various technologies on the occasion of the GTC 2021, an event where the company usually shows all its advances in computing, services and other.Among the things we have shown are omniverse avatar, a platform to generate immersive avatars driven by AI.
Creation of Avatars promoted by AI for multiple purposes
According to Nvidia, the avatars created with this platform will be 3D generated characters, with ray layout, which "can speak, talk about multiple themes and understand the intention spoken naturally".This opens the door for any industry to generate its personalized virtual assistant, and even carry it to an alleged virtual world.
En GenbetaEl Metaverso de Facebook es como el cuento de Pedro y el lobo: una mentira que acabará siendo real de tanto repetirlaThe event was presented by Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, who has dedicated a few words to this technology:
One of the many technologies present in Omniverse Avatar is Riva, a software development kit that is responsible for the entire human interaction part in artificial intelligences.This software recognizes multiple languages, and can generate natural responses through the advanced human understanding based on the Megatron 530B language model of NVIDIA.
With Nvidia Merlin, avatars can acquire advanced recommendation engines to manage large amounts of data, and with Nvidia Metropolis El Avatar may be equipped with perception and computer vision skills.
Omniverse, the virtual environment of Nvidia
This tool belongs to Nvidia Omniverse, a simulation of a virtual world and collaboration platform for 3D workflows.This service has been in Beta since December of last year, almost a year before the official announcement of the 'Metaverso' and the change of name of 'Facebook' to 'Meta'.The intention is to give 3D designers the necessary tools to collaborate in this virtual environment through various applications and software.
According to Nvidia, Omniverse has more than 70.000 users, and companies such as the BMW group, Cannondesign, Ericsson and others, have already used it.

It still seems that quite time to see realized situations in which these types of technologies are useful, but everything indicates that migration to an alleged virtual world has only begun.
