Nvidia Corp. NVDA has announced a new software framework that will enable developers to seamlessly integrate their digital twin scenes with the Apple AAPL Vision Pro’s high-resolution displays.
What Happened: At its annual Nvidia GTC event on Monday, the Jensen Huang-led company unveiled a new software framework built on Omniverse Cloud APIs. This will allow developers to send their Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) industrial scenes to the Nvidia Graphics Delivery Network (GDN).
The GDN is a global network of graphics-ready data centers that can stream advanced 3D experiences to the Apple Vision Pro, according to the company.
A live demonstration at the event showcased an interactive, physically accurate digital twin of a car being streamed in full fidelity to the Apple Vision Pro’s high-resolution displays.
The demo featured a designer using a car configurator application developed by CGI studio Katana on the Omniverse platform.
This new Omniverse-based workflow combines Apple Vision Pro’s high-resolution displays with Nvidia’s powerful RTX cloud rendering, delivering spatial computing experiences with just the device and an internet connection.

Rev Lebaredian, vice president of simulation at Nvidia, said, "Apple Vision Pro is the first untethered device which allows for enterprise customers to realize their work without compromise."
Why It Matters: The integration of Nvidia’s Omniverse with Apple Vision Pro’s high-resolution displays is a significant development in the field of spatial computing.
Earlier this month, a U.K. surgeon successfully used Apple Vision Pro for assistance during a spinal operation, emphasizing the increased confidence in surgery that the technology brings.
Meanwhile, renowned Tesla Inc. investor Ross Gerber expressed his optimism about Apple Vision Pro despite the company’s recent stock decline. Gerber believes that Apple’s focus on Vision Pro and Gen AI will lead to significant stock growth.
On the other hand, analysts have suggested that Apple is at a crossroads and must step up its game in the AI space to avoid being left behind.
The integration of Nvidia’s Omniverse with Apple Vision Pro’s high-resolution displays could be a step in the right direction for Apple’s AI ambitions.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Apple's stock was up 0.27% at $174.19 in Tuesday's premarket trading, while Nvidia's stock was down 2.43% to $863.02, according to Benzinga Pro.
