Bentley, NVIDIA See the Future of Metaverse Digital Twins
Lori Hufford, Bentley Systems vice president of engineering collaboration, recently spoke about the metaverse and its potential uses for infrastructure design at NVIDIA’s GTC developer conference March 23, offering some insights on where its potential lies. Hufford said that while the metaverse is still a work in progress, the standards needed for deploying it in infrastructure projects are already emerging. Bentley’s LumenRT was the first engineering application built on NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform for building shared metaverse environments for complex models. Brigantium Engineering used LumenRT on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor in France, with Oculus VR headsets to view federated models from 35 countries and even more suppliers. Richard Kerris, vice president of the Omniverse platform at NVIDIA, said the company’s aim is to enhance existing workflows for infrastructure construction. Having engineering data in cloud-based platforms like iTwin will help the transition to immersive.
