Description
Omniverse is a real-time 3D graphics collaboration platform created by Nvidia. It has been used for applications in the visual effects and "digital twin" industrial simulation industries. Omniverse makes extensive use of the Universal Scene Description (USD) format. The support for running Omniverse on HiPerGator is limited to certain applications.
Omniverse Launcher [1]
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.
Omniverse Applications
- Omniverse USD Composer [2]:
NVIDIA Omniverse USD Composer (Formerly Omniverse Create) is an Omniverse app for world-building that allows users to assemble, light, simulate and render large scale scenes. It is built using NVIDIA Omniverse™ Kit. The Scene Description and in-memory model is based on Pixar’s USD. Omniverse USD Composer takes advantage of the advanced workflows of USD like Layers, Variants, Instancing and much more.
- Omniverse USD Presenter [3]:
NVIDIA Omniverse USD Presenter is a simple, powerful reference application for interactive viewing and annotating of 3D design projects in stunning, physically-accurate photorealism.
- Omniverse USD Presenter [4]:
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.
Steps on installing NVIDIA Omniverse launcher and Issac-Sim
1. navigate to the HiPerGator OpenOnDemand[ood.rc.ufl.edu] webpage. Request a Hipergator Desktop on a hwgui node with a RTX6000 GPU [5].
![[5]](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6526592/232131919-33cfeeda-dcd4-40bc-a943-2e128cee6c19.png){kind=link}
2. Once you enter the HiPerGator Desktop, download the free standard omniverse launcher from https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/download/. You may need to register to download the Omniverse launcher.
3. open a terminal and make the downloaded file executable: chmod +x omniverse-launcher-linux.AppImage. run the Omniverse launcher AppImage file:
./omniverse-launcher-linux.AppImage
4. The first time you logon Omniverse Launcher, you will be asked to signup and login. Just follow the instructions to create an NVIDIA developer account and login.
5. Once you have login the Omniverse launcher, you can see the Omniverse launcher interface, click the top right user-setting and change the library path data path, and content path to your blue storage [6]. Please do this before installing any applications, otherwise the default installation path is in $HOME with limit of 40GB, which will be full immediately.

6. In the Exchange tab, select your applications (e.g. Issac Sim) to install them. It may takes some time for the downloading and installation. Once the application is installed, you may find it in the "LIBRARY" tab
7. Start the Application: From the LIBRARY tab, you can click the launch button to start your application [7].

8. You can explore more on Isaac Sim App in this page [8].
Omniverse Connectors
- Omniverse Connect: Omniverse Connect allows you to use your favorite apps as first class content delivery tools for the Omniverse Platform. With tools like Revit, Rhino, Maya, Unreal Engine, and more these already powerful tools become super charged with all the potential of Omniverse. Realtime Collaboration, Path Traced Side by Side Rendering, Nucleus Snapshots, and USD Translation are just a few of the immediate benefits of working with Omniverse Connectors.
Here is a list of Applications with Omniverse Connectors support [9]. Remember that UFRC is not responsible for purchasing commercial license for the applications that is connected to Omniverse.
On HiPerGator, currently the support for applications with Omniverse Connectors is limited.
