I think there's also a very high prospect of virtual worlds with virtual people (SFW or otherwise) becoming popular, rendered with Apple/META goggles...that could require insane amounts of compute. And this is just one possibility. Relatively cheap multimodal smart glasses you wear when out and around that offload compute to the cloud are another.

Nvidia could just as easily triple in short order as get cut in half from here imho.



I thought Meta Horizon and the sales number of Vision Pro[0][1] already proves your thesis wrong. Even Zuckerberg stopped talking about it.

I am referring to the future (the actual future, not simulated ones), so it is not possible to know if I am wrong.

I predict this is yet another domain rich with opportunity for AI.


You mean like Omniverse from Nvidia where you can simulate entire factories or as Nvidia does data centers before they are built?

Or how about building the world virtually? https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/high-performance-computing/eart...


Ya, I saw those demos (I own the stock), incredible. But I'm thinking things more like just a single VR friend who has memory and (optionally) prior knowledge of your background. I think these could be an absolute blessing for a lot of people who have lots of time on their hands but no one to talk to.

Or, leaning more towards your examples, a Grand Theft Auto style environment containing millions of them, except life like.
