RT3D engines such as Unity and Unreal significantly streamline XR production pipelines with easy-to-use tools. During the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference 2022, the firm outlined how its NVIDIA DRIVE system already employs Instant NeRF data to train AI models, such as familiarising robots and self-driving cars with real-world environments.

It takes massive amounts of data to train AI models. But sometimes, that data simply isn’t available from real-world sources, so data scientists use synthetic data to make up for that. Using those engines, users can then also start simulating the physics of how those objects would behave in the real world, too.
