When it comes to creating and connecting virtual worlds, over 150,000 individuals have downloaded NVIDIA Omniverse to make huge leaps in transforming 3D design workflows and achieve new heights of real-time, physically accurate simulations.
At GTC, NVIDIA today announced new releases and updates for Omniverse — including the latest Omniverse Connectors and libraries — expanding the platform’s ecosystem by 10x, and making Omniverse even more accessible to creators, developers, designers, engineers and researchers worldwide.
NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise is helping leading companies enhance their pipelines and creative workflows. New Omniverse Enterprise customers include Amazon, DB Netze, DNEG, Kroger, Lowe’s and PepsiCo, which are all using the platform to build physically accurate digital twins or develop realistic immersive experiences for customers.
Enhancing Content Creation With New Connections and Libraries
The Omniverse ecosystem is expanding beyond design and content creation. In one year, Omniverse connections, ways to connect or integrate with the Omniverse platform, have grown 10x — with 82 connections through the extended Omniverse ecosystem.
There are also new connections to industrial automation and digital twin software developers. Bentley Systems, the infrastructure engineering software company, announced the general availability of LumenRT for NVIDIA Omniverse, powered by Bentley iTwin. It brings engineering-grade, industrial-scale real-time physically accurate visualization to nearly 39,000 Bentley System customers worldwide. Ipolog, a developer of factory, logistics and planning software, released three new connections to the platform. This, coupled with the growing Isaac Sim robotics ecosystem, allows customers such as BMW Group to better develop holistic digital twins.
Omniverse Enterprise Features and Availability Broadens
New updates are coming soon to Omniverse Enterprise, including the latest releases of Omniverse Kit 103, Omniverse Create and View 2022.1, Omniverse Farm, and DeepSearch.
Omniverse Enterprise on NVIDIA LaunchPad is now available across nine global regions. NVIDIA LaunchPad gives design practitioners and project reviewers instant, free turnkey access to hands-on Omniverse Enterprise labs, helping them make quicker, more confident software and infrastructure decisions.
Customers Drive Innovations With Omniverse Enterprise
Amazon has over 200 robotics facilities that handle millions of packages each day. It’s a complex operation that requires over half a million mobile drive robots to support warehouse logistics. Using Omniverse Enterprise and Isaac Sim, Amazon Robotics is building AI-enabled digital twins of its warehouses to better optimize warehouse design and flow, and train more intelligent robotic solutions.
PepsiCo is looking at using Omniverse Enterprise and Metropolis-powered digital twins to improve the efficiency and environmental sustainability of its supply chain of over 600 distribution centers in 200 regional markets.
“NVIDIA Omniverse will help us better streamline supply chain operations and reduce energy usage and waste, while advancing our mission toward sustainability,” said Qi Wang, vice president of Research and Development at PepsiCo. “When we’re looking at new products and processes, we will use digital twins to simulate and test models and environments in real time before applying changes to the physical distribution centers.”
Lowe’s Innovation Labs is exploring how Omniverse can help unlock the next generation of its stores. It is using the platform to push the boundaries of what’s possible in digital twins, simulation and advanced tools that remove friction for customers and associates.
Kroger plans to use Omniverse to optimize store efficiency and processes with digital twin store simulation.
Raising the Bar on Industrial Digital Twins
At GTC, NVIDIA announced NVIDIA OVX, a computing system architecture designed to power large-scale digital twins. NVIDIA OVX is built to operate complex simulations that will run within Omniverse, enabling designers, engineers and planners to create physically accurate digital twins and massive, true-to-reality simulation environments.

- New Third-Party Connections for Adobe Substance 3D Material Extension and Painter Connector, Epic Games Unreal Engine Connector and Maxon Cinema 4D will enable live-sync workflows between third-party apps and Omniverse.
- New CAD Importers: These convert 26 common CAD formats to Universal Scene Description (USD) to better enable manufacturing and product design workflows within Omniverse.
- New Asset Library Integrations: TurboSquid by Shutterstock, Sketchfab and Reallusion ActorCore assets are now directly available within Omniverse Apps asset browsers so users can simply search, drag and drop from close to 1 million Omniverse-ready 3D assets. New Omniverse-ready 3D assets, materials, textures, avatars and animations are also now available from A23D.
- New Hydra Render Delegate Support: Users can integrate and toggle between their favorite Hydra delegate-supported renderers and the Omniverse RTX Renderer directly within Omniverse Apps. Now available in beta for Chaos V-Ray, Maxon Redshift and OTOY Octane, with Blender Cycles, Autodesk Arnold coming soon.
