Nvidia's new offices will be built with virtual reality
In Santa Clara, Calif., new headquarters Nvidia designed with RV Technology, will begin operations during the month of November this year.
It is 500,000 square meters of surface for the new headquarters of the manufacturer of the chips, in United States.
Within its architectural proposal you can see shape based on algorithms and virtual simulations, triangular model, the hundreds of slots that allow the passage of light diffused by laminated ceiling, or even the stairs connecting the two floors of the Infinite Loop.
John O'Brien, Director Senior of real estate development, who is in charge of the project, shared: "we have come this building simulations for years and now finally we can explore it materially"
O'Brien also said during a press conference (prior to the start of the annual developer GTC 2017): "what we did was a simulation with our technology; is not rendering, if not simulate such which, from the vision of the architect, how should see and feel… "."
We know that the challenge in this project was to create a highly collaborative and intimate space in which offices were around and where people cross in the common areas of the place, at least once a day. In addition to the use of technologies such as the Internet of things (IoT) and facial recognition within the property; In addition, the proposal should reflect the culture of the company: a polygon, as the basis for the graphics processing.
Meanwhile, founder and CEO of the company, Jen-Hsun Huang, took the decision to expand the operations center two years ago, taking advantage of the terrain of 14.16 acres acquired by the company several years ago. Became known that his idea was, initially, the incorporation of technological developments in the project, as well as experience with simulations of virtual reality in construction, objectives which seem to be meeting very well, for now…
