Together, RAVE and Varjo have seen the power of immersive technology transform how automotive and manufacturing industries train workers and design and produce goods.  On an even larger scale, immersive training and simulation has transformed the defense industry, resulting in saved time, money, and lives. 

Varjo collaborated with RAVE Computer in November 2023 to launch their XR-4 Series headset, powered by RAVE RenderBEAST series workstations.

Next week, Varjo and RAVE will collaborate again at NVIDIA GTC 2024. RAVE will feature the new dual GPU RenderBEAST X2 workstation in Booth #1641 for live demos in the XR pavilion of the NVIDIA GTC exhibit hall, and RAVE System Engineer Matt Moy will discuss features of the RenderBEAST X2 on the XR stage at GTC on Tuesday, March 19^th, at 12:30 p.m. PDT.  Both RAVE’s demo and stage presentation feature how to implement real-time ray tracing in mixed reality, with the RenderBEAST X2 powering OpenUSD and NVIDIA RTX-based scenes from NVIDIA Omniverse, maximized by Varjo’s latest XR-4 Series headset for a true photorealistic immersive experience.  Moy’s in-person session will also provide practical advice and strategies for initiating XR projects using Omniverse and the Varjo XR-4 headset powered by the RenderBEAST X2.

RAVE and Varjo will be hosting an XR-4 Series and RenderBEAST ‘Better Together’ roadshow event in RAVE Computer’s Metro-Detroit RenderBEAST XR Zone early this May, focusing on defense, automotive, manufacturing, and health care use cases.  Appointments are required.  Contact RAVE for additional information.
