[isaacsim.sensors.camera.ui] Isaac Sim Camera Simulation UI Components#

Version: 0.7.1

Overview#

This extension provides UI integration for creating camera and depth sensors in Isaac Sim. It adds menu items to the Create menu and context menus that enable users to create various camera and depth sensor prims from multiple vendors including Orbbec, Leopard Imaging, RealSense, Sensing, SICK, and Stereolabs.

Functionality#

The extension automatically registers sensor creation actions and organizes them into a hierarchical menu structure by vendor. Users can access sensor creation through two main pathways: the main Create menu under “Sensors > Camera and Depth Sensors” and context menus accessible via right-click in the viewport under “Isaac > Sensors”.

Supported camera sensors include:

  • Leopard Imaging: Hawk, Owl

  • Sensing: Multiple SG series models with various configurations

  • SICK: Inspector83x

Supported depth sensors include:

  • Orbbec: Gemini 2, FemtoMega, Gemini 335, Gemini 335L

  • RealSense: D455, D457, D555

  • Stereolabs: ZED_X

Key Components#

Sensor Creation Actions#

The extension creates specialized actions for each supported sensor type using the action registry. For depth sensors, it generates SingleViewDepthSensorAsset instances with proper initialization, while regular camera sensors create standard Xform prims with appropriate USD references.

Integration#

The extension uses omni.kit.actions.core to register sensor creation actions and omni.kit.context_menu to provide right-click access to sensor creation tools. It currently integrates with the deprecated isaacsim.sensors.camera for the underlying sensor implementation (pending migration to isaacsim.sensors.experimental.rtx) and isaacsim.gui.components for UI component support.

Preview

Enable Extension#

The extension can be enabled (if not already) in one of the following ways:

Define the next entry as an application argument from a terminal.

APP_SCRIPT.(sh|bat) --enable isaacsim.sensors.camera.ui

Define the next entry under [dependencies] in an experience (.kit) file or an extension configuration (extension.toml) file.

[dependencies]
"isaacsim.sensors.camera.ui" = {}

Open the Window > Extensions menu in a running application instance and search for isaacsim.sensors.camera.ui. Then, toggle the enable control button if it is not already active.
