Addressing the Robotics Sim-to-Real Gap with USDZ Export in Scaniverse

Scaniverse can now turn a 360 video capture into a simulation-ready USDZ file for NVIDIA Isaac Sim by combining a Gaussian splat with an automatically generated and aligned mesh. A splat captured from the real world carries the lighting, textures, and real-world clutter that synthetic environments approximate or omit. Training against it closes the visual sim-to-real gap, so a robot's perception system meets its destination already familiar with how that place looks.
