Odaily Planet Daily News On August 1 local time, five major companies in the 3D content industry in the United States, Apple, Nvidia, Pixar, Adobe, and Autodesk, jointly established the OpenUSD Alliance (AOUSD). OpenUSD technology is the foundation of Nvidia's Omniverse platform, which may one day become the standard for 3D graphics in the "Metaverse."
OpenUSD is an open data format developed by Pixar Animation Studios that allows teams to collaborate on large-scale 3D workflows and share 3D objects and environments that can be used in AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) projects Information.
The OpenUSD Alliance will develop a written specification detailing the characteristics of OpenUSD. This will increase the compatibility of OpenUSD, broaden its adoption, integration, and implementation, and enable other standardization organizations to also incorporate this specification. The Joint Development Foundation (JDF), a division of the Linux Foundation, has been selected as the project's custodian, which will drive open, efficient, and effective OpenUSD specification development and provide ISO-certified way.
Nvidia has long used OpenUSD as the basis for its Omniverse platform, and in particular has been working to support the Industrial Metaverse through the concept of a digital twin (a fully virtual digital asset that mirrors every detail of a real-world object, including physical properties). ). Omniverse is a platform that supports real-time collaboration and simulation, allowing artists and engineers to virtually design and recreate virtual worlds at scale.
Several companies didn't talk specifically about the "Metaverse" at the launch event, but they are promoting one of the key features of the Open Metaverse -- by facilitating greater interoperability of 3D tools and data, the consortium will enable developers and Content creators are able to describe, author and simulate large-scale 3D projects and build an ever-expanding range of 3D products and services.
