AI-powered automotive R&D is the core strategy of IAT. The Company is also the first one in China to purchase a full set of NVIDIA's latest OVX systems. The number of OVX servers and Omniverse that the Company possesses ranked No. 1 in the automotive industry, utilizing NVIDIA's state-of-the-art L40S as the computing pedestal GPU.

On this basis, IAT Automobile released the collaborative operation Demo, and announced that after the joint demonstration, research and development by NVIDIA, IAT and Shanghai Xinhong, the three powerful technical teams, significant results have been achieved in the collaborative process between NVIDIA Omniverse and a variety of industrial software R&D. This breakthrough is expected to positively encourage innovation and development in the field of automotive R&D.

Omniverse is an open 3D virtual collaboration and simulation platform powered by NVIDIA, offering a virtual world for cross-industry synergy. In Omniverse, users can connect different digital contents, design tools and simulation engines to realize real-time collaboration, resource sharing and virtual simulation. According to the planning, IAT's OVE co-design, 2D to 3D and other modules based on the OVX system will be applied as a digital twin pilot project related to automotive design. 

This achievement is expected to be realized within the first half of 2024 -- digitalization of key automotive assets, collaborative work with multiple teams and software, and AI-powered visualization of 2D to 3D vehicle models and other exploration for practical applications have reached considerable progress.

The NVIDIA Omniverse Connectors provide a seamless integration platform for digital content creators, enabling them to easily integrate a variety of different design tools and software into the Omniverse ecosystem. The open architecture supports multiple industry standards and file formats, providing seamless connectivity and collaboration between different software tools. On top of that, IAT patches through its Connectors to 3DS Max, greatly stimulating users' creativity and improving workflows.

3DS Max, a leading 3D modeling and animation software, has powerful features and a wide application range. Through the Omniverse Connectors, IAT can transfer models, animations and scenes created in 3DS Max directly into Omniverse for further rendering, dynamic simulation and real-time collaboration. This seamless integration takes full advantage of 3DS Max's creation tools and workflows, while leveraging Omniverse's efficient rendering and real-time collaboration capabilities for a greater creating experience.

IAT can create complex modeling and animation effects in 3DS Max, and then transfers this content to Omniverse for real-time rendering and dynamic simulation via the Omniverse Connectors. In Omniverse, NVIDIA's RTX technology can be utilized to achieve realistic ray-tracing rendering effects, while also utilizing Omniverse real-time collaboration capabilities to edit and adjust scenes with team members for instant feedback and collaborative tasks.

This cross-platform integration and collaboration model dramatically improves work efficiency and creation quality, accelerates product design and R&D cycles, and opens up new possibilities and opportunities to the digital content creation domain.

IAT hopes to bring about revolutionary changes in the industry, and will stay committed to implementing AI applications in the automotive industry, lead more innovation and breakthroughs in automotive R&D process, and work together to advance the development of technologies. IAT puts in a great deal of effort in science for better cars.
