  3. Helldivers 2 is a very good third-person online co-op sci-fi shooter. Like, really good. But, it’s not the most stable game, with many players (myself included) failing missions simply because the game has crashed. And now, players are learning that snowballs can lead to some of these far-too-frequent crashes. Read more... View the full article
  4. We could hear her flip-flops slapping the concrete steps that led to the basement before we saw her. “Shh!” we hissed at each other, both of us adopting casual, seated poses on the well-worn couch to exude an air of relaxation, of calm. My sister’s breathing betrayed us, however—her chest was rising and falling in big… Read more... View the full article

  7. When I was younger, my friends and I would play Grand Theft Auto III differently than how the developers intended. Instead of completing missions and side activities, we would use cheat codes to give ourselves all the guns, a good car, and then save the game in that state. We would then each take turns loading up that… Read more... View the full article
  8. When I first saw Pepper Grinder, I was struck by how brash it appeared to be. It was this loud, kinetic, almost volatile game that felt like it was tapping into a kind of chaos that other, more sanitized platformers rejected. Crucially, it accomplished this by handing the player a large drill and urging them to 'frell'… Read more... View the full article
  9. Players trying to complete everything in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are running into a roadblock at the very end of the game after the recent 1.020 patch broke one of the very last side quests.

  14. From humble beginnings as a university spinoff to an acquisition by the leading global medtech company in its field, Odin Vision has been on an accelerated journey since its founding less than five years ago. An alum of the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge startups, Odin Vision builds cloud-connected AI software that helps clinicians detect and characterize areas of concern during endoscopy, a procedure where a tiny camera mounted on a tube is inserted into the gastrointestinal tract. Network-connected devices in the endoscopy room capture and stream real-time video data to the cloud, where powerful NVIDIA GPUs run AI inference. The models’ results are then streamed back to the endoscopy room so that clinicians can see the AI insights overlaid on the live video feed with minimal latency. The startup was in 2022 acquired by Japanese medtech leader Olympus, which has a 70% global market share in gastrointestinal endoscopic equipment. “We believe the acquisition brings us much closer to achieving our vision to revolutionize endoscopy through AI and cloud technology,” said Daniel Toth, cofounder and chief technology officer of Odin Vision. “Our software can reach Olympus’ global customer base, enabling us to bring our solutions to as many patients as possible.” Olympus is also collaborating with NVIDIA on Olympus Office Hours, an advisory program that connects Inception startups with the medical device company’s experts, who will offer deep industry expertise and guidance to help the startups build AI solutions in key areas including gastroenterology, urology and surgery. Eight leading AI startups have joined the inaugural cohort of the program — which is part of the NVIDIA Inception Alliance for Healthcare, an initiative that brings together medical AI startups with NVIDIA and its healthcare industry partners — to help accelerate their product development and go-to-market goals. An Extra Set of AIs for Clinicians Around a quarter of precancerous polyps are missed during colonoscopies, a kind of endoscopy procedure that examines the lower digestive tract. While some are missed because the endoscope doesn’t capture video footage of every angle, others remain undetected by clinicians. That’s where AI can help provide a second set of eyes to support clinical decision-making. Seamless AI integration into the video feeds that medical professionals view during an endoscopy provides an extra data source that can help doctors detect and remove polyps sooner, helping prevent cancer development. “Polyps develop slowly, and can take five or 10 years to appear as cancer,” Toth said. “If a clinician can detect and remove them in time, it can help save lives.” CADDIE, the company’s AI software for detecting and classifying polyps, has received the CE Mark of regulatory approval in Europe and is deployed across hospitals in the U.K., Spain, Germany, Poland and Italy — with plans for use in the U.S as well. Odin Vision also has AI software that has received the CE Mark to assist gastroscopy, where doctors inspect the esophagus for signs of throat cancer. Accelerated Inference for Real-Time Insights Odin Vision began as a research project by two professors and a Ph.D. student at University College London who were developing AI techniques for polyp detection. In 2019, they teamed with Toth and Odin’s CEO, Peter Mountney, both from Siemens Healthineers, to commercialize their work. “NVIDIA GPUs were part of our work from the start — they’ve been essential to train our AI models and were part of our first product prototypes for inference, too,” Toth said. “Since moving to a cloud-based deployment, we’ve begun using the NVIDIA Triton Inference Server for dynamic processing in the cloud.” The team uses NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs for accelerated inference — most recently transitioning to NVIDIA L4 GPUs. Adopting NVIDIA Triton Inference Server software and the NVIDIA TensorRT software development kit enabled them to meet the low-latency threshold needed for real-time video-processing AI applications. In addition to supporting doctors during specific procedures, Odin Vision plans to develop generative AI models that can automate a first draft of the clinical notes doctors prepare afterward — as well as models that can aggregate data across procedures. These would allow endoscopy teams to review analytics and assess how well a procedure is performed compared to clinical guidelines. “Once you get to a point where there are dozens of AI models tracking different elements of these procedures, we can see if a healthcare professional is inspecting a particular area of the digestive tract for only three minutes, when it’s supposed to take six minutes,” Toth said. “The system can provide a nudge to remind the clinician to follow the guidelines.” Cloud-Connected Cancer Screening Membership in NVIDIA Inception provided the Odin Vision team access to technical expertise from NVIDIA and cloud credits through leading cloud service providers. “Cloud credits helped us massively speed up our technology development and deployment, enabling us to release our products to market months earlier than initially planned,” Toth said. “NVIDIA experts also validated our product concept from a technology perspective and provided consultation about GPU and accelerated software optimizations.” The team found that a cloud-based solution made it easier to push software updates over the air to deployments across hospital customers. “Some AI companies are sending boxes that need to sit in clinical sites and require regular maintenance, which can prevent normal clinical workflows from running smoothly,” Toth said. “With network-connected devices, we can instead update a single server and the changes reach all end users at the same time.” Learn more about NVIDIA Inception and subscribe to NVIDIA healthcare news.

  25. From designing dream cars to customizing clothing, 3D product configurators are ringing in a new era of hyper-personalization that will benefit retailers and consumers. Developers are delivering innovative virtual product experiences and automated personalization using Universal Scene Description (aka OpenUSD), NVIDIA RTX technologies from NVIDIA Omniverse software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs), and generative AI from NVIDIA Edify models. Together, these technologies enable developers to create configurator applications that deliver physically accurate, photoreal digital twins of products, revolutionizing the way brands personalize buyer journeys at unprecedented scale. For example, Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXCITE brand is adopting Omniverse Cloud APIs to enable interoperability with generative AI services, such as Shutterstock’s Edify3D or Edify 360, directly inside its web-based application. By using NVIDIA Edify-powered models, trained by Shutterstock, Dassault Systèmes can generate stunning 3D environments from text prompts to instantly personalize scenes representing physically accurate products. And with Omniverse APIs, the company can supercharge the web-based app with real-time ray-traced rendering. Many other developers are also building 3D product configurator software and solutions with NVIDIA Omniverse SDKs and APIs. CGI studio Katana has developed a content creation application, COATCreate, used by manufacturers such as Nissan, that allows marketing assets to be staged and created faster with product digital twins. COATCreate also enables users to view and customize the digital twin while wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset, unlocking real-time ray-traced extended reality experiences. Brickland, another CGI studio, is developing real-time virtual experiences that allow users to customize clothing by choosing from predefined parameters such as color and material. Through their Digitex initiative, Brickland is expanding into digital textures and allowing consumers to visualize and interact with extreme levels of detail in their 3D assets thanks to RTX real-time rendering Configit connected its powerful configurator logic tool Configit Ace to Omniverse and OpenUSD by streamlining the management of the complex rules system behind the creation of configurators and combining it with the rendering capabilities of Omniverse and RTX. This allows for rapid creation of articulated product configurators and enables the configurator developers to power real-time ray-traced rendering in their solutions. WPP has developed a content engine that harnesses OpenUSD and AI to enable creative teams to produce high-quality commercial content faster, more efficiently and at scale while remaining aligned with a client’s brand. Media.Monks has developed an AI-centric professional managed service that leverages Omniverse called Monks.Flow, which helps brands virtually explore different customizable product designs and unlock scale and hyper-personalization across any customer journey. Accenture Song, the world’s largest tech-powered creative group, is using Omniverse SDKs to generate marketing content for Defender vehicles. Using it with the Edify-powered generative AI microservice, Accenture Song is enabling the creation of cinematic 3D environments via conversational prompts. Product Digital Twins in the Era of Industrial Digitalization Forecasts indicate that consumer purchases, including high-value items like vehicles and luxury goods, will increasingly take place online in the coming decade. 3D product digital twins and automated personalization with generative AI serve as invaluable tools for brands to showcase their products and enhance customer engagement in the changing retail landscape. 3D configurators provide tangible benefits for businesses, including increased average selling prices, reduced return rates and stronger brand loyalty. Once a digital twin is built, it can serve many purposes and be updated to meet shifting consumer preferences with minimal time, cost and effort. Creating a 3D Product Configurator The process of creating a 3D product configurator begins with harnessing OpenUSD’s powerful composition engine and interoperability. These features enable developers to create dynamic, interactive experiences that accurately reflect the nuances of each product. Teams can also integrate generative AI technologies into OpenUSD-based product configurators using NVIDIA Omniverse APIs to enhance the realism and customization options available to users. By leveraging AI, configurators can intelligently adapt to user inputs, offering personalized recommendations and dynamically adjusting product configurations in real time. And with NVIDIA Graphics Delivery Network , high-quality, real-time viewports can be embedded into web applications so consumers can browse products in full fidelity, on nearly any device. The possibilities for 3D product configurators are virtually limitless, applicable across a wide range of industries and use cases. To start, get NVIDIA Omniverse and follow along with a tutorial series. View the full article
