AlloSphere/NVIDIA

GRANT from the Omniverse division of NVIDIA Corporation

Omniverse in the AlloPortal to AlloSphere

Embodied Research within Immersive Virtual Shared Environments with AlloLib

NVIDIA - AlloSphere Partnership

Technical support request:

• Omniverse APIs, USD format

Hardware:

• 3 RTX A6000 to run content in our distributed prototyping space (prototype) + servers

• 3 RTX A6000 GPUs for the sphere (implementation) + servers

We can integrate display level synchronization in Omnistereo

• Rendering machines as building blocks

We can assist building large immersive projection spaces

Omniverse in the AlloSphere - Applications

• Architectural design

• Large scale projection prototyping

• Manufacturing

• Full surround content authoring

• Scientific interactive visualization

• Situation room prototyping

• Immersive Collaboration:

Omniverse in the AlloSphere - Beyond

• Open source software

  Distributed projection with Omniverse on many other spaces.

• Simplified development of the distributed application

  AlloLib

  Laptop prototyping → Deploy on distributed system without modification.

• Built-in Interactivity, Sound and Multimedia

Challenges of bringing Omniverse to the AlloSphere

• Omnistereo and SW warping and blending in Omniverse

  Pushing the boundary for low-latency interactivity in Omniverse

  Dynamic offloading for Performance bottlenecks: trading computation for network bandwidth

  Best-effort broadcasting and failure recovery for connectionless communication.

• Research

  Multi-user head and gaze tracking.

  Procedural audio from USD scenes.

• Built-in Interactivity, Sound and Multimedia
