NVIDIA Admits GTC 2021 Keynote Featured a Digital CEO Clone
NVIDIA reveals that CEO Jensen Huang and his famous kitchen from the GTC 2021 keynote are entirely virtual creations built using the Omniverse platform.
NVIDIA reveals that the GTC 2021 keynote featuring CEO Jensen Huang is largely a virtual production created with the company's Omniverse platform. The nearly two-hour presentation initially airs in April 2021 and impresses viewers with its high-quality visuals, though many do not realize the true extent of the digital artistry involved.
The tech giant confirms that the iconic kitchen seen in the broadcast is a perfect virtual replica of Huang's real-life home. Even more surprisingly, the Jensen Huang seen speaking during the event is not a real human but a highly detailed digital clone rather than a live-action shot.
This lifelike digital avatar comes to life through NVIDIA's deep learning technologies and an extensive scanning process. The team creates the 3D model by performing full face and body scans of the actual CEO, demonstrating the powerful rendering and collaboration capabilities of the Omniverse software.
