The Next Era of Graphics: When AI Builds the World

NVIDIA previews a one-hour keynote on neural rendering, world models and AI-driven simulation — live demos and recent research, but no new product names or benchmarks disclosed yet.

60min

Keynote window, 3:45–4:45 p.m. PT, July 20

VP-level research leaders presenting

Target domains across creative & industrial AI

5days

SIGGRAPH 2026 runs July 19–23, Los Angeles

Three pillars of the keynote

"Neural Rendering, World Models, and Simulation"

Neural Rendering

Network-based image synthesis replacing pure rasterization & ray tracing

→

World Models

Foundation models (Cosmos) that understand & simulate the physical world

→

Simulation

AI-driven real-time methods for robotics, AV and digital twins

The differentiator — a vertically integrated stack

Rivals advance NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting too; NVIDIA's edge is pairing silicon and software end to end.
