**First Offering:** **Sunday, July 19 **2:30–4 p.m. PT **NVIDIA Lab Room, Room 502B** **Second Offering: Monday, July 20 **9:30–11 a.m. **NVIDIA Lab Room, Room 502B** Modern graphics applications are getting increasingly difficult to debug. Ray Tracing, advanced rendering pipelines with neural rendering, GPU crashes, and performance bottlenecks often require developers to navigate large amounts of data before identifying the true source of a problem. At the same time, AI-powered tools are beginning to transform how developers investigate and understand complex systems. In this hands-on lab, participants will enter the Hall of Mysteries, an interactive graphics debugging experience built around a series of realistic rendering and performance challenges. Using a preview of the in-development Nsight Graphics MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, participants will study a Vulkan application to investigate visual artifacts, analyze renderer behavior, diagnose GPU crashes, and optimize performance using professional graphics debugging workflows. Rather than following a scripted tutorial or traditional use of the tooling, participants will gather evidence, formulate hypotheses, inspect captures and traces, and verify conclusions through AI-guided investigation. Along the way, they will learn how AI-assisted workflows can accelerate debugging while preserving the reasoning and verification skills required to solve real graphics problems. By the end of the lab, participants will have solved multiple graphics debugging challenges and gained practical experience using AI-assisted workflows to investigate and resolve issues in modern graphics applications. --- ### NVIDIA Keynote **Monday, July 20** **3:45–4:45 p.m. PT** Join NVIDIA AI research and engineering leaders Neil Ashton, Edward Liu, and Ming-Yu Liu to experience the latest advances shaping computer graphics and simulation. We’ll explore breakthrough neural rendering techniques, progress in developing world models, and simulation methods for AI, built by AI. Through recent research examples and demos, we’ll look at how these technologies are changing the way digital worlds are built, rendered, and used across every domain. These include everything from creative tools and industrial design, to robotics and autonomous systems. The keynote will also be livestreamed.
