From August 11 to 14, the 2025 International Association for Computing Machinery Symposium on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH 2025) was grandly held in Vancouver, Canada. Focusing on cutting-edge technologies, this conference not only highlighted a series of extended reality (XR), motion capture and spatial narrative technologies, but also witnessed the release of multiple physical AI-related technologies by NVIDIA.
In terms of technology exhibitions, brand-new spatial narrative projects made their first public appearance, including the much-watched ones such as "Immersive Stories", "Puppets in the Room", "BEASTS" and "Astronauts in the Water". In addition, the immersive pavilion provided participants with interactive XR and AI-driven experiences, vividly demonstrating the broad application prospects of VR and AR technologies in various fields such as entertainment, empathy cultivation, heritage protection and building mixed social connections, which made people full of expectations for the future development of these technologies.
At this conference, NVIDIA also brought a lot of heavy news. The company announced that two new models have been added to the Nemotron series, namely Nemotron Nano 2 and Llama Nemotron Super 1.5. At the same time, NVIDIA released the groundbreaking neural reconstruction library New Omniverse NuRec, launched a new open-source USD library, made two updates to the Cosmos world foundation model, and also released the open-source and commercially available reasoning VLM - Cosmos Reason. A series of technological achievements have attracted widespread attention from the industry.
