NVISION Going Well, Not Much to Report On

In case you don’t look at the top of the page too often, be sure not to miss our day one coverage of NVISION, which has been going quite well since opening yesterday. Admittedly, I expected the event to be a lot larger, but it’s still been a worthwhile event so far, especially if you are not there to report, since there’s a ton of stuff to see and do on the side.

There are a few external events during the show, like DiggNation, HD Theatre, Video Games Live and much more to keep people busy, but truly, there is not much to report on, and I’m kind of surprised. No new announcements make it difficult to report, and the people who would benefit most from what’s been seen here would have to be here.

I hear rumors that NVISION is to be a lot bigger next year, though, as many companies this year deliberately held back in order to see how things went. Since things seem to be going rather well, I’d expect a far better turnout next year, both with attendees and exhibitors. The main part of the event is the LAN party, though, and that seems to be going great (probably partly thanks to the table full of Bawls that’s conveniently located in the middle).

The focal point of the day was Jen-Hsun Huang’s opening (two-hour!) keynote. All throughout, the general idea he was trying to pass off was that visual computing is here, it has been here, and it will always be here. The results of visual computing is all around us, from the cars we drive to the scans at the doctor to the movies we watch to everything else.
