Million developers around the world are now using the NVIDIA Jetson platform for peripheral AI and robotics to create innovative technologies. In addition, more than 6,000 companies — a third of which are startups — have integrated the platform with their products.
These and other important events will be celebrated during the NVIDIA Jetson Edge AI Developer Days at GTCa global conference on the era of artificial intelligence and the metaverse, which will take place online March 20-23.
Register for free to learn more about the Jetson platform and start developing the next generation of peripheral AI and robotics.
One in a million
Atlanta-based Chris Kersey is the creator of the popular YouTube channel Kersey Fabricationsis one of the one-in-a-million developers using the NVIDIA Jetson platform for their technological innovations.
He created a fully functional Iron Man helmet that could be taken straight out of the Marvel Comics movies. He uses NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX The 8GB dev kit is the backbone of the Arc Reactor, enabling its transparent display—a transparent display that displays information wherever the user looks.
In just over two years, Kersey built a wearable helmet from scratch, complete with object detection sensors and other on-screen sensors that would make Tony Stark proud.
“Developing the software was more than half of the work on the project, and that’s the funnest and most exciting part for me,” Kersey said. “The software takes all the discrete hardware components and turns them into a great system.”
To begin, Kersey turned to GitHub where did he find”Hello AI World”, a guide to deploying deep learning inference networks and deep vision primitives with NVIDIA TensorRT software suite and NVIDIA Jetson. He then wrote shellcode to connect his own project.

This 3D-printed helmet is just the beginning for Kersey, who plans to build a full Iron Man suit later this year. He plans to make all of the project’s code open source, so anyone who dreams of becoming a superhero can try it out for themselves.
Jetson Edge AI Developer Days at GTC
Developers like Kersey can register for free Jetson Edge AI Developer Days at GTC featuring NVIDIA experts to talk about the latest Jetson hardware, software and partners. Sessions include:
