Mark’s journey began in engineering but rapidly moved into innovation across CAD, 3D graphics, and digital twins. The two innovators met whilst working on their own startup companies two decades ago and now with NVIDIA investing in Nextspace their paths have come together again.

Join them as they discuss the industrial metaverse, the Omniverse, digital twins, visualization simulation, federated data systems, and building our future AI-enabled virtual world.
