Earlier this year, Nvidia revealed an ambitious VR collaboration tool, called Holodeck, that will offer photo-realistic graphics and physically rendered environments. The company also introduced Isaac, a tool for training robots in a controlled digital environment. Now, the company has revealed that a combination of both tools can help researchers safely train robots that interact with human beings.
Nvidia?s Holodeck platform is still an experimental vehicle that lets a team of people view real-world objects rendered in photorealistic VR. For example, it lets you load CAD drawings into virtual environments and display them in incredible detail. What's more, Holodeck can simulate real-world physics so that virtual objects react to other objects, people, and the environment as they would in the real world.
When Nvidia revealed Holodeck during its GTC gathering in May, the company showed a live demonstration of its potential, showing off the latest Koenigsegg car in an impressive live demo highlighting the car?s features and components in an exploded view of the car's CAD files. It was during the same GTC event that Nvidia revealed its Isaac deep learning AI training platform.
