NVIDIA and the Future of 3D Development with Aaron Luk
Producing 3D films, games and simulations is a complex process, often involving multiple teams and tools. At Pixar, pipeline engineers needed to write lots of glue code to integrate different workflows and file formats, which was a big challenge, and led them to create the Universal Scene Description, or OpenUSD. OpenUSD implements abstract data models for producing 3D worlds, and is now an open-source project. Making full use of OpenUSD required a software framework. This motivated NVIDIA to create Omniverse, which is a modular development platform that enables individuals and teams to develop OpenUSD-based 3D workflows and applications. Aaron Luk is the Director of Product Management for Omniverse, and was previously a software engineer at Pixar where he helped create OpenUSD. Aaron joins the show to talk about the origins of the technology, how it works, digital twins, industry impacts, and more. Sean's been an academic, startup founder, and Googler. He has published works covering a wide range of topics from information visualization to quantum computing.

Edward Snowden’s Operating System with REDACTED
Software security is a critical issue for everyone, but it takes on an entirely different dimension when your life, or the lives of others, depend on it. Consider the security needs of an environmentalist whistle blower inside a chemical corporation, or a human rights activist in Iran. Hyper-secure and fully anonymous operating systems are vital for many legitimate use cases. They are a double-edge sword though, and also empower nefarious actors. Tails is an operating system designed to protect against surveillance and censorship. Our guest today is a member of the Tails group. For privacy reasons we will refer to him as ludo. This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison. Lee Atchison is a software architect, author, and thought leader on cloud computing and application modernization.
