Nvidia’s Metaverse Avatars

Nvidia gave its clearest roadmap towards a metaverse yet last week with the announcement of a new platform for creating avatars utilizing facial tracking, speech recognition, 3D animation, and other technologies called the Omniverse Avatar. The announcement was part of Nvidia’s broader “omniverse” ambitions which are more or else another word for the metaverse but with a heater emphasis on technologies that interact with individuals in the real, physical world.
