Nothing is real and anything is possible – Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s iconic kitchen, where he presented three pandemic-era keynote addresses in 2020 and 2021, was almost entirely fake – including Huang himself – during the company’s GTC 2021 keynote earlier this year.
The virtual presentation was cooked up using something called Nvidia Omniverse, a multidisciplinary collaboration tool for creating 3D virtual workspaces. For an annual keynote address known for impressive technical displays, this one certainly delivered.
Most viewers had no idea they hadn’t seen the real Huang speaking from his real kitchen until a new documentary by Nvidia was released that detailed the efforts that went into making that presentation.
