Niantic Spatial has launched USDZ export for its Scaniverse app, enabling robotics developers to convert real-world environments into simulation-ready digital twins for use with Nvidia Isaac Sim.
The new capability is designed to help address the long-standing “sim-to-real” gap in robotics, where systems trained in synthetic environments often struggle when deployed in complex, real-world settings.
Using Scaniverse, developers can now capture a real environment with a 360-degree camera and generate a USDZ file that combines a Gaussian splat with an automatically generated, aligned mesh. The resulting model can be imported directly into NVIDIA Isaac Sim for robot training and testing.
