But what exactly is OpenUSD? This technology, <strong>born in the labs of Pixar Animation Studios<\/strong>, is a highly efficient tool for 3D scene description, providing robust interoperability between tools, data and workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Apple-Alliance-for-OpenUSD-AOUSD-logo_inline.jpg.medium_2x-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-300965\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is already recognized for its ability to capture collaborative artistic expression and optimize the production of film content. However, its flexibility and power make it the <strong>ideal platform to meet the needs of new industries and applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The drive of great titans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Universal Scene Description was invented at Pixar and is the technological foundation of our advanced animation production pipeline,&#8221; noted Steve May, Pixar CTO and President of AOUSD. Since its release as an open source project in 2016, OpenUSD has extended <strong>its influence beyond film and animation<\/strong>, entering other industries that are increasingly reliant on 3D data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adobe, known for its digital solutions, sees OpenUSD as an opportunity to multiply the value that each tool and device brings during the creative process. Mike Rockwell, vice president of Apple&#8217;s Vision Products Group, highlights how OpenUSD will accelerate the next generation of augmented reality experiences. In addition, companies such as Autodesk and NVIDIA, see OpenUSD as the cornerstone for 3D content development, from artistic creation to large-scale industrial simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Towards global standardization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commitment of this alliance is clear: <strong>to develop specifications detailing OpenUSD features.<\/strong> The purpose is to enable greater compatibility, adoption, integration and implementation. In addition, the choice of the Linux JDF Foundation to host the project ensures open and efficient development of OpenUSD specifications, providing a path to recognition by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Pixar Changed 3D Animation With Every Movie (Part 1, &#039;Toy Story&#039; to &#039;Cars 2&#039;) | Movies Insider\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n1xAYik1g-w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This collective effort seeks, beyond mere standardization, to provide an exchange platform for the collaborative definition of technology improvements by the entire industry. The invitation is open for<strong> a wide range of companies and organizations to join<\/strong> and participate in shaping the future of OpenUSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, this historic partnership not only seeks to consolidate the technology we are talking about, but also to open doors to a new era where augmented reality and 3D are seamlessly integrated into our daily, professional and entertainment lives. With the backing of the biggest technological titans, the way seems to be clear for OpenUSD to become the reference in the description of 3D scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div
