NVIDIA Omniverse Developer Days are led by world-renowned experts in 3D design, AI, and simulation, giving you an unparalleled deep-dive into creating applications for virtual worlds.
We'll show you how to easily extend the Omniverse platform by creating extensions — the building blocks of Omniverse Kit-based Apps such as Omniverse Create or Machinima.
Be sure to join the developer breakout directly after the session ends to interact directly with the Omniverse engineering leads.
Get access to our executives and senior engineers in this behind-the-scenes session, where you’ll get a preview of the Omniverse product roadmap and see highlights from the community.
