Omniverse Streaming Extensions#

Overview#

Streaming interactive content to Users is an essential experience of any modern workflow, and Omniverse comes with a number of options out-of-the-box. All technologies make it possible to stream the content of a Kit-based application (Omniverse Kit, Omniverse Create, Omniverse Machinima, etc.) to other devices and platforms.

This makes it possible to provide access to Omniverse features to a wide variety of devices, where it would otherwise not have been able to install Omniverse. Remotely accessing these features enables shared experiences for applications, and can be used for cases such as:

  • Accessing Omniverse from phones or tablets

  • Sharing access to hardware resources with a group of Users

  • Offering live production workflows on the Cloud
