[isaacsim.sensors.physx.ui] Isaac Sim PhysX Sensor UI components

Warning

Deprecation: Extension deprecated since Isaac Sim 6.0.0 in favor of the Experimental extension: isaacsim.sensors.physics.ui

Version: 2.5.1

Overview

Deprecated since version 6.0.0: This extension is deprecated in favor of isaacsim.sensors.physics.ui.

The isaacsim.sensors.physx.ui extension provides UI components for Isaac Sim PhysX-raycast-based sensor simulation, specifically menu options for range sensor operations. This extension acts as a UI layer on top of the PhysX sensor system, enabling users to interact with range sensors through menu interfaces.

Key Components

RangeSensorMenu

The RangeSensorMenu class provides menu integration for range sensor operations within Isaac Sim. This menu component allows users to access range sensor functionality through the application’s menu system, offering a convenient interface for sensor configuration and control.

The menu integrates with Isaac Sim’s context menu system to provide sensor-specific options when working with range sensors in the scene. Users can access range sensor operations directly from the interface without needing to write code or use lower-level APIs.

Relationships

This extension depends on isaacsim.sensors.physx for the underlying PhysX sensor simulation capabilities and isaacsim.gui.components for UI component infrastructure. It uses omni.kit.actions.core for action registration and omni.kit.context_menu for menu integration, enabling the menu components to appear in appropriate contexts 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.physx.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.physx.ui" = {}

Extension Manager UI

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