What if Nvidia buys Meta? What if Nvidia makes a GPU puck that brings PC VR to standalone in a neat package? What if it goes head to head with Deckard?
Fascinating thought experiments with Generative AI. The text & images were made with ChatGPT.
This conversation explored thought experiments around Nvidia acquiring Meta and the potential impact on VR technology. It speculated on Nvidia creating an external GPU "puck" for the Meta Quest, transforming it into a high-end PC VR device. The discussion then extended to imagining this puck's release coinciding with the launch of Steam's Linux-based Deckard headset with an AMD-powered puck, setting up a new era of mobile PC VR competition. Both devices would feature standalone VR capabilities enhanced by their respective GPU pucks, offering wireless PC VR for immersive experiences. The conversation highlighted technical, market, and ecosystem differences, emphasizing how each approach could shape the future of VR and computing.

ChatGPT said to me:
Interesting thought experiment! If Nvidia were to acquire Meta, several aspects of both companies' strengths and market focuses would come into play. Here are some considerations:
Synergy of Technologies: Nvidia’s graphics processing unit (GPU) technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) research, and software ecosystems (like CUDA) combined with Meta's investments in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and social media platforms could accelerate the development of immersive 3D worlds. This merger could potentially make high-quality VR/AR hardware and experiences more accessible and robust.
Metaverse Acceleration: With Nvidia's Omniverse platform designed for collaborative 3D content creation and Meta’s focus on building the metaverse, this acquisition could lead to a significant leap in creating a fully integrated virtual world. Nvidia’s computing power could make the virtual spaces Meta envisions far more detailed, realistic, and interactively rich.
