Accenture Teams with NVIDIA to Showcase AI-Powered Immersive Client Experiences for Defender
SAN JOSE, Calif.; March 18, 2024 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is pioneering the use of advanced generative AI and real-time graphics capabilities with Defender to elevate the modern luxury client experience, driving new content production practices, conversational intelligence, and interactive personalization using NVIDIA’s Omniverse platform and NVIDIA Edify-powered models.
Accenture Song, the world’s largest tech-powered creative group, is using NVIDIA's Omniverse platform to generate highest fidelity Defender vehicles from computer-aided design data for marketing purposes. Coupled with the NVIDIA Edify-powered generative AI microservice, Accenture Song is enabling the creation of cinematic 3D environments via conversational prompts. The result is a fully immersive 3D scene, harmonizing realistic, generated environments with a digital twin of the Defender vehicle.
The rapid evolution of AI and XR devices is ushering in a new generation of immersive experiences, where 3D data is consumed via both 2D and 3D interfaces. Accenture Song uses NVIDIA Omniverse and AI microservices across its industry portfolio, including automotive.
David Droga, CEO, Accenture Song, said: “Defender embodies the spirit of adventure and that is also true to our mission of reinventing creativity and design through pioneering technologies. This ambition and energy are shared between Accenture Song and Defender, and we’re incredibly excited about the future of experiences we’re pioneering in collaboration with NVIDIA.”
Mark Cameron, managing director, Defender, said: “Defender's brand purpose is 'Embrace the Impossible'. Defender has enabled epic adventure since 1948 and today this extends to the virtual world. This collaboration with industry leaders, such as Accenture Song and NVIDIA, demonstrates our commitment to building the Defender brand and creating modern luxury experiences for our clients.”
“A rise in the use of physically based, immersive content is driving demand for generative AI assistants and OpenUSD-based pipelines to maximize efficiency without sacrificing quality,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA. “Accenture Song, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse and AI, will advance the next generation of digital content for companies across numerous industries.”
This collaboration builds on Accenture Song’s existing relationship with JLR, supporting its global marketing operations, as well as JLR’s existing strategic partnership with NVIDIA on next-generation automated driving systems plus AI-enabled services and experiences.
Using generative AI to bring new value to clients is part of Accenture’s broader $3 billion investment in data and AI in order to help clients accelerate transformation, including its investment in Writer.com and the launch of a network of generative AI studios across the world. Along with specialized services to help clients build their own large language models that are tailored to meet their specific business needs.
Accenture will be demonstrating NVIDIA Omniverse in action with Defender at NVIDIA’s GTC, a global AI conference held 18-21 March in San Jose, California.
