Nvidia invents the '3D internet' (and it looks… interesting)

During Nvidia's Siggraph keynote the tech and GPU innovator dropped a lot of jargon, but I think we just glimpsed the future of the internet – and the metaverse. The likes of Pixar, as well as Adobe, Autodesk, Siemens and, yes, Nvidia, are pioneering new tech that will reshape how we use the internet; what they see as a '3D internet'. The future laid out by Nvidia and its partners is quite something, and even the most metaverse-averse may want to sit up and take note; I mean, when was the last time Pixar got it wrong? If you're asking, 'what is the metaverse?' then read our guide for the detail, but generally we're looking at a new way of interacting with the internet through VR, 3D spaces and connected worlds. To make this new 3D internet a real, working thing for everyone, Nvidia is developing its Avatar Cloud Engine (opens in new tab) (ACE), a new tool that enables everyone to build lifelike, 3D'humans' that can talk and interact with other computers (and you) in the metaverse.
