…not in the VR headset. In such usages, the GPU plays a critical role to constantly pump out and refresh the graphics as users move around and their perspectives shift. “But this is not new. The software is basically sending the participants’ XYZ positions and head orientations in the virtual world, just like you do in multiplayer games in the virtual world,” points out Konttori. “With NVIDIA RTX GPUs, the application really benefits a lot from the real-time raytracing possible.” Collaborative use of VR is not confined to Varjo’s customers themselves. “We keep a minimum number of people in the…
