Simulation environments, such as Omniverse, can leverage additional model information and metadata to make that content far more useful for research and training of a particular product or ecosystem. In order to achieve this level of fidelity from both a visual and simulation perspective, NVIDIA is working to create a new 3D standard specification called SimReady. At a fundamental level, you can think of SimReady assets as building blocks for industrial virtual worlds. SimReady assets are supposed to be more than just visual 3D objects.
They are built on top of the USD platform, and they are designed to be modular to take advantage of the flexibility that the USD framework provides while including embedded physical properties, semantic labeling, behaviors, and connected data streams so that they are immediately useful within simulation environments.
