The Technology Behind Cesium’s Integration with NVIDIA Omniverse

Cesium for Omniverse, Cesium’s extension for NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform for developing Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD)-based applications for industrial digitalization, creates a bridge between the Cesium, 3D geospatial, and Omniverse OpenUSD ecosystems. The extension makes it possible to create full-scale 3D geospatial simulations and digital twins in Omniverse built on open standards such as 3D Tiles. As we engineered and optimized Cesium’s extension for streaming 3D content over the web, we learned the best practices for perfecting the interoperability between glTF, OpenUSD, and Fabric. This will be the first of three blog posts that cover the best practices Cesium has established for integrating with the Omniverse ecosystem using extensions and Omniverse Connectors.
