3D worlds have the potential to become a big part of the modern workforce and really change the way we work, learn and collaborate. These virtual environments are often powered by virtual and augmented reality technologies, which appeal to many types of people.
One of the more prominent applications of 3D worlds in the workforce is for training and simulation. Industries such as healthcare, aviation and manufacturing actively use these technologies to provide realistic and safe training scenarios. Medical students practice surgeries in virtual operating rooms, pilots hone their skills in flight simulators, and factory workers learn assembly processes without the risks of real-world accidents.
3D worlds also change remote collaboration and communication. Virtual meeting rooms allow teams from around the globe to gather in a shared digital space.
While 3D worlds hold immense potential, several challenges do hinder their widespread adoption. The high cost of hardware and software is a huge barrier for businesses, especially smaller ones.
Therefore, to democratize 3D worlds, Cybever has partnered with Cloud Zeta.
Cybever is a platform for AI-driven 3D world creation, automating asset retrieval, generation and placement to help creators build immersive environments. Cybever’s mission is to make 3D world creation accessible to all, whether for games, virtual experiences or digital storytelling.
Cloud Zeta is the 3D Data Cloud that provides an infrastructure to host, discover and process 3D worlds with a strong focus on OpenUSD compatibility. Its platform offers creators a unified space for building, storing and sharing 3D environments at scale.
Together, they will reportedly co-develop a comprehensive web-based platform for creating, modifying and sharing immersive 3D worlds.
Cloud Zeta's 3D Data Cloud handles the technical complexities, which allows Cybever to focus on AI-driven automation for tasks like layout and asset placement. Taking this approach will reduce time and resource constraints.
Naturally, this makes 3D world creation more accessible and affordable.
By building on the industry-standard OpenUSD format, the companies aim to create a platform that is compatible with a wide range of tools and workflows. This collaboration aligns with the broader industry trend toward open standards and interoperability to ensure that creators have the flexibility and freedom to innovate.
“We are building a transformative enabler that will provide brands and creators across every industry with the tools to build 3D worlds affordably,” said Cecilia Shen, CEO and co-founder of Cybever. “This platform will unlock new opportunities across industry sectors by democratizing 3D world creation, just as social media democratized video content and expanded the reach of interactive digital experiences.”
The companies strive to set a new benchmark with scalable, end-to-end, web-based 3D world creation that makes the traditionally costly and complex tools used in blockbuster Hollywood and video game projects accessible for a wider range of use cases.
Together, Cybever and Cloud Zeta are committed to building a future where immersive 3D environments are accessible to all creators and across a diverse range of applications – including digital twin development, virtual production, and the fast iteration of ideas at the prototype stage – regardless of budget or technical background.
“Our platform is purpose-built to tackle core 3D data challenges like web-based rendering and data validation,” said Egor Yusov, Chief Technology Officer of Cloud Zeta. “With OpenUSD at the foundation, we offer creators a fully compatible, web-accessible infrastructure that allows Cybever’s AI to scale and meet the needs of cross-industry creators.”
The collaborative effort will open for wide public availability in Q1 2025.
Be part of the conversation about the Future of Work (and about how both customer and employee experiences are changing) at Future of Work Expo 2025. The conference focuses on key elements of today's reimagined workplace; not just for improving productivity, but also providing all-around better experiences. Future of Work Expo is taking place from February 11-13, 2025, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
