Nvidia unveiled a new AI engine that renders virtual world's in real time – Fanatical Futurist by International Keynote Speaker Matthew Griffin

Nvidia have announced that they've introduced a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Deep Learning model that "aims to catapult the graphics industry into the AI Age," and the result is the first ever interactive AI rendered virtual world. In short, Nvidia now has an AI capable of rendering high definition virtual environments, that can be used to create Virtual Reality (VR) games and simulations, in real time, and that's big because it takes the effort and cost out of having to design and make them from scratch, which has all sorts of advantages. In order to work their magic the researchers used what they called a Conditional Generative Neural Network as a starting point and then trained a neural network to render new 3D environments, and now the breakthrough will allow developers and artists of all kinds to create new interactive 3D virtual worlds based on videos from the real world, dramatically lowering the cost and time it takes to create virtual worlds. "NVIDIA has been creating new ways to generate interactive graphics for 25 years – and this is the first time we can do this with a neural network," said the leader of the Nvidia researchers Bryan Catanzaro, Vice President of Applied Deep Learning at Nvidia. "Neural networks – specifically – generative models like these are going to change the way graphics are created."
