“The amazing advancements in visual computing are transforming industries all over the world. In film, a movie director’s wildest imagination can be rendered possible. In the automotive industry, engineers and designers use visual computing from start to finish – from design, styling, and prototyping to simulation, inventory management, advertising, and photorealistic showroom models. Visual computing enables gamers to be transported into alternate universes and virtual travelers to fly anywhere instantaneously. Doctors and scientists can interact with the building blocks of life as they work to discover cures for disease. Yet, the profound impact of visual computing is just beginning.” – Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO, NVIDIA.
