[isaacsim.sensors.physics.ui] Isaac Sim Physics Sensor Simulation UI Components

Version: 1.2.2

Overview

The isaacsim.sensors.physics.ui extension provides menu integration for Isaac Sim physics-based sensor simulation. This extension adds menu items that enable users to create and configure physics sensors through the application’s menu system, making sensor creation accessible through standard UI interactions.

Functionality

Menu Registration

The extension registers menu items specifically for physics sensor creation when it starts up. These menu entries provide users with direct access to physics sensor functionality without requiring programmatic interaction.

Sensor Creation Interface

Physics sensor menu options allow users to create various types of physics-based sensors through the menu system. The extension integrates with the existing Isaac Sim menu structure to provide intuitive access to sensor creation workflows.

Integration

The extension uses omni.kit.actions.core to register sensor-related actions that can be triggered through menu selections. It also integrates with omni.kit.context_menu to provide contextual menu options for physics sensor operations.

The extension connects with isaacsim.sensors.experimental.physics to access the underlying physics sensor functionality and uses isaacsim.core.experimental.prims for primitive-based sensor operations. Additionally, it leverages isaacsim.gui.components for consistent UI component integration within the Isaac Sim interface.

Enable Extension

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

Command-line interface

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

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

Experience/extension configuration

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

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

Extension Manager UI

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