    Frequently Asked Questions

    NVIDIA Omniverse is a platform of APIs, services, and software development kits (SDKs) that enable developers to build generative AI-enabled tools, applications, and services for industrial digitalization workflows. Applications built on Omniverse core technologies fundamentally transform complex 3D workflows, allowing individuals and teams to build unified tool and data pipelines and simulate large-scale, physically accurate virtual worlds for industrial and scientific use cases.

    To get started developing on NVIDIA Omniverse, you can use the platform SDK or cloud APIs.

    Platform SDK

    For developers looking to build an application from scratch, NVIDIA offers Omniverse Kit SDK and developer tooling (including the Omniverse App Streaming API) to get started.

    Download the platform SDK here.

    Cloud APIs

    For developers looking to take only the pieces they need, NVIDIA offers Omniverse core technologies as simple APIs that developers can self-host on any cloud, multi-cloud, or virtual private cloud. Omniverse core APIs give developers the ability to integrate USD data ingest and RTX-enabled output. Developers can also use Cloud APIs with managed service from NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud on Microsoft Azure.

    As Omniverse Cloud APIs become available, get notified here.
