Nvidia’s CEO Says We Are On The Edge Of Blockchain/NFT Metaverse

Nvidia’s CEO says that we are on the edge of a blockchain/NFT metaverse and the new Voyager campus is now serving as a testing ground for what it will look like after the metaverse meets the physical world so let’s read more in our latest blockchain news today.

One of the most influential men in tech believes that the metaverse which is a term for series of interlinked persistent virtual worlds that have self-contained economies is around the corner. One of the most exciting use cases for NFT and blockchain, enthusiasts inspired by Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash were hoping for a VR/AR world with a crypto-powered internal market. Now, however, Nvidia’s CEO says that the technology to make this happen is fast approaching.

Speaking at the Virtual Computex conference, Jensen Huang said that we are on the edge on metvarse and spoke about its potential as per a script of Q&A session that had with the reporters and he also said that the users will one day use metaverse to simulate the future. He said:

“There will be AR versions, where the art that you have is a digital art. You own it using NFT. You’ll display that beautiful art, that’s one of a kind, and it’s completely digital. You’ll have our glasses on or your phone. You can see that it’s sitting right there, perfectly lit, and it belongs to you. We’ll see this overlay, a metaverse overlay if you will, into our physical world.”

He noted that Nvidia is using a VR version of the new office building to test these theories as a campus that the company dubbed Voyager. Among the largest manufacturers of GPUs, NVIDIA used supercomputers to simulate architecture for voyager and helps with design and ecological efficiency so the company will allow employees to attend work by wearing a VR headset and control robots to move about the physical office space:

“This building completely exists in VR. We designed it completely digitally. We’re going to build it out so that there will be a digital twin of this very physical building in VR. We’ll be able to simulate everything, train our robots in it. We can simulate how best to distribute the air conditioning to reduce the energy consumption […] We can simulate all of that in our digital twin, our building metaverse, before we deploy anything here in the physical world. We’ll be able to go in and out of it using VR and AR.”
