This year at Autodesk University, Autodesk and NVIDIA are showcasing the incredible potential of real-time collaboration in design and engineering. NVIDIA’s Omniverse is set to transform how professionals in architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and media work together. We see it as a glimpse into the 'new possible'—a future where seamless, immersive collaboration becomes the norm. One of today's biggest challenges is the inability of different software platforms to communicate effectively due to incompatible file formats, proprietary systems, and team silos. These issues often lead to delays, inefficiencies, and even roadblocks in project execution. The NVIDIA Omniverse platform, built on Pixar’s open-source Universal Scene Description (USD), allows designers, engineers, and creators to collaborate in real time with photorealistic simulations using NVIDIA RTX technology. Whether you're an architect working in Autodesk Revit or an interior designer in 3ds Max or Maya, the platform supports seamless integration across tools, making collaboration more fluid and efficient. This isn’t just about Autodesk tools. As part of our commitment to openness, Omniverse enables users to integrate their preferred workflows with partner and third-party applications. We believe that supporting open standards and fostering collaboration not only builds trust but also drives progress across industries—benefiting everyone involved.

The NVIDIA Omniverse open beta offers a promising path forward, helping teams break down barriers and accelerate digital transformation. Cobus Bothma, Director of Applied Research at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), one of the world’s leading architectural firms, is already seeing the benefits. As an early access user, he’s impressed by the platform’s potential to reshape how design teams work together globally. KPF, with its global presence and expertise in distributed collaboration, is exploring how Omniverse can enhance their geometric design models. They’re looking to create a unified environment where all design tools—like Revit, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, and more—can work together seamlessly. This approach supports real-time visual collaboration, improving decision-making and communication across teams. Bothma explains, “The future of architecture depends on having a single, accurate visualization of all design data and geometry. NVIDIA Omniverse is showing great promise in enabling multiple contributors across the design team to collaborate in real time, no matter where they are. This fosters trust among team members and stakeholders, enhances decision-making, and improves storytelling—ultimately leading to better buildings and spaces.†Richard Kerris, General Manager of Omniverse at NVIDIA, shares this enthusiasm. He says, “The way KPF is using Autodesk’s Revit and 3ds Max, along with other integrated tools connected to Omniverse, gives us a clear view of what the future of real-time, multi-application collaboration could look like. It speeds up decisions and helps deliver projects faster and more efficiently.†Connecting tools and people in a real-time, photorealistic environment is a game-changer for global building teams. It reduces design iteration delays, improves clarity, minimizes errors, and makes project delivery more efficient overall. The impact of Omniverse goes beyond business efficiency. With the pandemic accelerating the shift to remote work, virtual collaboration is now essential for maintaining productivity and engagement. Digital models and simulations allow teams to make decisions without being physically present, which supports a more resilient workforce and business model. With the launch of the NVIDIA Omniverse open beta, we encourage our customers to visit the NVIDIA Omniverse website to pre-register for the platform, which will be available later this fall. We hope to see you at Autodesk University 2020.
