« VR – It’s not just for gaming anymore!» As VR emerges and gamers embrace its realistic portrayal of their favorite playground, there is a whole new front where VR/AR will impact our lives. Enterprise VR is being tested by corporations, non-profits, medicine, architects, engineering, construction, realtors, retail, training and automotive amongst others. Yes, VR is and will continue to change the landscape of our personal and professional lives not unlike how the internet did in the late 90’s. Key technical innovations like NVIDIA’s Iray VR and VR Works SDK are accelerating this growth as we look at many of the use case scenarios for Enterprise VR outside of gaming. by Mr. Tom Riley, Director Global Business Development - Enterprise VR

28. INTRODUCING
VRWORKS 360 VIDEO
Capture, stitch, and stream
360º videos in real-time
• Real-time and offline stitching from
4k camera rigs
• GPU-accelerated video decode,
calibration, equalization, stitching,
and encode
• 360 projection onto cube-map and
equi-rectangular panorama
• Works with GPUDirect for Video for
low latency video ingest
“Capturing and stitching 360 video is time
consuming and computationally
demanding. NVIDIA’s VRWorks 360 Video
SDK will help accelerate STRIVR’s
workflows, delivering real-time, high
quality 360 video.”
— Masaki Miyanohara, CTO, STRIVR
