Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, declared that “we’re right on the cusp” of a blockchain-based augmented reality metaverse.
The CEO believes that a future isn’t far away from the NFT space as of now: “The art that you have is digital art. You own it using NFT. You’ll display that beautiful art, that’s one of a kind, and it’s completely digital.”
He predicts that the transition between the physical world and the virtual one will happen smoothly: “You’ll have our glasses on, or your phone. You can see that it’s sitting right there, perfectly lit, and it belongs to you. We’ll see this overlay, a metaverse overlay if you will, into our physical world.”
Nvidia has a history with crypto as its graphic drivers are often used for mining crypto. In February of this year, the company released a graphics card for Ethereum miners. But, a couple of months later, the company confirmed that it was planning to cut the hash power of three of its most popular graphics cards as a result of complaints from gamers.
