PD Forma tries to close that loop with self-serve reconstruction and scored quality reports, putting Parallel Domain in direct contention with NVIDIA NuRec and Applied Intuition Neural Sim for the log-to-simulation workflow.\n\nParallel Domain founder Kevin McNamara started the company after building simulation inside Apple's Special Projects Group, where the work taught him how slowly autonomy teams could turn real-world driving into usable test data. McNamara had earlier architected procedural content systems for Microsoft Game Studios and contributed to animated films at Pixar Animation Studios.…\n\nWhen you purchase through links in our articles, [we may earn a small commission](https://runtimewire.com/affiliate-monetization-standards).
