The design, construction, and operation of buildings and infrastructure brings complex challenges. To meet them, architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) companies worldwide use NVIDIA technologies to optimize designs, mitigate hazards, and collaborate more effectively, even when working remotely. With breakthroughs in AI, 3D graphics virtualization, virtual reality (VR), and collaboration solutions like NVIDIA Omniverse™, firms are transforming their workflows to reimagine our world’s future.
Advanced technologies, such as immersive VR, real-time ray tracing, and 3D graphics virtualization, are vastly improving design and visualization of BIM models while boosting productivity and innovation.
With GPU-powered data science and AI, AECO teams can tap into vast amounts of data—including design, environmental, simulation, and structural—to gain insights into everything from traffic flows to weather conditions.
GPU-powered AI and robotics power autonomous vehicles on construction sites, enable real-time construction site safety compliance monitoring, and automate more accurate infrastructure inspection.
AEC firms worldwide rely on NVIDIA advanced visual computing technologies to accelerate their workflows as they collaborate on building and infrastructure design. Architects, engineers, and designers use NVIDIA RTX™-powered workstations to power real-time ray tracing, virtual reality, engineering simulation, and AI-enabled applications. NVIDIA RTX™ Virtual Workstation (vWS) software provides desktop-level graphics performance for design teams working remotely on large, complex BIM models. And with NVIDIA Omniverse™ for AEC, a graphics and simulation platform that enables real-time collaboration on photorealistic digital twins, project teams can transform the conceptual design process.

AI has revolutionized smart solutions to create more sustainable cities, maintain infrastructure, and improve public services for residents and communities. It all starts with the ability to gather data from trillions of sensors and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices and transform complex video data into actionable insights. The NVIDIA Metropolis™ platform provides cutting-edge technology and an extensive developer ecosystem that helps create, deploy, and manage AI-based video analytics applications.
With NVIDIA Metropolis and Deepstream SDK, Esri is helping cities improve mobility and urban planning by extracting key insights about traffic patterns from massive streams of highly unstructured data.

Większość kreatywnych projektantów lubi dokumentować swoje oryginalne myśli i twórcze pomysły poprzez szkicowanie, bazgranie na odwrocie kopert lub tworzenie prostych modeli. Na tym etapie innowacji trudno jest przewidzieć wykonalność projektów, ich zużycie energii, wpływ na środowisko, bezpieczeństwo konstrukcji, koszty, a nawet wykorzystanie w dłuższej przyszłości. Jak możemy dokładniej przewidzieć przyszłą wydajność zbudowanego środowiska na tych wczesnych etapach projektowania? Podczas tej sesji posłuchaj, jak eksperci opisują nowy, roczny kurs dla studentów studiów licencjackich, od szkicu po symulację, „New Digital Tools for the Design in the 21st Century” (Nowe narzędzia cyfrowe dla projektowania w XXI wieku), oparty na Omniverse firmy NVIDIA.
