Nvision, stylized as NVISION, is a stand alone event organized by NVIDIA to promote visual computing amongst enthusiasts and journalists.
The event is mostly centered around NVIDIA's own products but offers activities usually found at other types of events: a demoscene event, scientific talks, and programming classes.
The same name was also used for Nvidia's quarterly magazine, published by Future Publishing. Publication was ceased after 'Winter 2011' (#7) issue.
NVISION 08
The first NVISION event, NVISION 08, was held at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts[1] from August 25 to August 28, 2008 in San Jose, California.[2]
Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, of MythBusters fame, demonstrated how GPUs solve specific tasks faster in parallel than they can be executed on general purpose CPUs by painting a Mona Lisa with a massively parallel paint gun.[3]
Guinness World Records was present to officiate the record for the longest continuous LAN party at 36 hours.[4]
Kevin Gee from Microsoft revealed more details publicly about what would be in the next DirectX 11.[5]
Revision3's Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht were present to host a live Diggnation show.[6]
