“# Nvidia CEO: We\u2019re \u201con the cusp of\u201d a blockchain and NFT-enabled metaverse <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

One of the most powerful men in tech thinks that the metaverse \u2014 a term for a series<\/a> of interlinked, persistent virtual worlds with self-contained economies \u2014 is just around the corner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the most exciting use cases for blockchain and NFTs, enthusiasts inspired by Neal Stephenson\u2019s Snow Crash<\/em> have long been hoping for a VR\/AR world with a crypto-powered internal market. Now, however, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang thinks the technology<\/a> to make it happ<\/a>en is on our doorstep. <\/p>\n

Speaking at the virtual Computex conference, Huang said that he \u201cbelieve(s) we\u2019re right on the cusp of\u201d the metaverse and spoke glowingly of its potential, according to a transcript<\/a> of a Q&A session he had with reporters \u2014 going as far as to say that users will one day use metaverses to \u201csimulate the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be AR versions, where the art that you have is a digital art. You own it using NFT. You\u2019ll display that beautiful art, that\u2019s one of a kind, and it\u2019s completely digital. You\u2019ll have our glasses on or your phone. You can see that it\u2019s sitting right there, perfectly lit, and it belongs to you. We\u2019ll see this overlay, a metaverse overlay if you will, into our physical world,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

He noted that Nvidia is already using a VR version of Nvidia\u2019s new office building to test these theories, a campus that the company has dubbed \u201cVoyager.\u201d Among the world\u2019s largest manufacturers of GPUs, Nvidia used supercomputers to \u201csimulate architecture\u201d for Voyager, helping with design and ecological efficiency, and eventually the company will allow employees to attend work by wearing VR headsets from home and controlling robots to move about the physical office space, a joint VR\/physical workplace hybrid. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis building completely exists in VR. We designed it completely digitally. We\u2019re going to build it out so that there will be a digital twin of this very physical building in VR. We\u2019ll be able to simulate everything, train our robots in it. We can simulate how best to distribute the air conditioning to reduce the energy consumption […] We can simulate all of that in our digital twin, our building metaverse, before we deploy anything here in the physical world. We\u2019ll be able to go in and out of it using VR and AR.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Huang isn\u2019t the only CEO who has weighed in on NFTs and the Metaverse as of late, though he\u2019s certainly the most optimistic. In January Fortnite founder Tim Sweeney said that NFTs are the most \u201cplausible\u201d path towards a functioning metaverse, but for now they remain a \u201cspeculative mess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
