Monday, July 29 10:00–11:30 a.m. MT Encore Session: 12:30–2:00 p.m. MT
Explore the future of retail with spatial computing. You'll have the opportunity to create an application for the Apple Vision Pro (AVP) that allows users to configure a photoreal, 3D retail asset. This includes developing an application and setting it up to communicate with a product configurator built with the Omniverse Kit SDK and OpenUSD. You'll also learn how to implement custom Swift UI to interact with the virtual product in real time. By the end of this training, participants will be able to leverage advanced technologies to create immersive, interactive retail experiences.
Monday, July 29 9:00–11:00 a.m. MT
Foundation models (FMs) are pretrained AI models with vast potential for various natural language processing tasks, from language translation to sentiment analysis. Join this training lab, where we’ll explore the basics of foundation models, their significance, applications, and the latest developments in the field of AI.
Monday, July 29 12:00–2:00 p.m. MT
Semantic retrieval has become a common tool for helping to drive large language models toward data-grounded reasoning. However, naive techniques start to break down when non-textual inputs come into the picture. Instead of ignoring non-textual information, we’ll tackle multimodal document ingestion and retrieval.
Tuesday, July 30 9:00–11:00 a.m. MT
As AI continues to make its way into popular use, deep learning components from a wide range of disciplines are quickly getting incorporated into end-user applications, and emerging workflows that combine multiple seemingly disjoint models or input types are able to operate surprisingly well.
Tuesday, July 30 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. MT
Interactive chatbots are gaining popularity in use across multiple industries, such as virtual assistants, customer service agents, sales support agents, and other applications. This training lab covers important topics to help users understand and implement their custom Digital Human.
Tuesday, July 30 1:00–2:00 p.m. MT
