OMNIVERSE¶
Description¶
NVIDIA Omniverse™ is an open platform built for virtual collaboration and real-time physically accurate simulation. Complex creator, designer, and engineering visual workflows are transformed as users and teams connect major design tools, assets, and projects for collaborative iteration in a shared virtual space.
Environment Modules¶

Omniverse Launcher¶
The NVIDIA Omniverse™ Launcher is your first step into the Omniverse. Giving you immediate access to all the apps, connectors and other downloads the Omniverse Launcher is your gateway to the Omniverse. With an intuitive Interface, Launcher allows a quick experience for opening and updating Omniverse Apps and Connectors. This module has been deprecated, and will cease online function in October 2025. It is not recommended to use.
Omniverse Applications¶
Omniverse applications are built using Omniverse Kit, a versatile SDK with an emphasis on modularity. Kit apps are given functionality through the use of extensions that developers can mix and match or build themselves. Nvidia supplies a number of core extensions that can be used to kickstart development, such as the omni.ui extension for easily building UI systems.
Nvidia built a number of example applications using the suite of extensions for Kit they developed. Some, like Isaac Sim, are distributed by Nvidia directly, while others are considered "templates" that are accessible from the kit-app-template repository.
Omniverse Isaac Sim:¶
The NVIDIA Omniverse Isaac Sim is a robotics simulation toolkit for the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. Isaac Sim has essential features for building virtual robotic worlds and experiments. It provides researchers and practitioners with the tools and workflows they need to create robust, physically accurate simulations and synthetic datasets. Isaac Sim supports navigation and manipulation applications through ROS/ROS2. It simulates sensor data from sensors such as RGB-D, Lidar, and IMU for various computer vision techniques such as domain randomization, ground-truth labeling, segmentation, and bounding boxes.
USD Composer, Explorer, Presenter:¶
The USD Composer, Explorer, Presenter apps are now template apps available through the kit-app-template development repo. They are relatively simple Kit apps that are designed to be built upon and customized to the needs of the user which provide an interface to interact with 3D USD environments. Once the templates are installed, users can access the .kit files associated with them to add and remove extensions and define each app's functionality.
Note
It is no longer recommended to install the launcher. Instead, you may utilize the template apps in the kit-app-template, install a program like Isaac Sim directly, or use any Omniverse Tools available in the Nvidia Catalog.
