Overview#

The Collaboration Settings extension manages settings for the live collaboration workflow in Omniverse Kit. It provides a dedicated user interface to adjust and monitor preferences related to collaboration during live sessions. By streamlining the configuration of user and session settings, it supports a smoother collaborative experience without requiring direct code integration.

Concepts#

Collaboration Preferences: The extension centralizes settings that affect live collaboration, including session parameters and user-specific options.

Functionality#

UI-Based Settings Management: The extension uses Omni UI to present a clear, collapsible window containing various panels for managing live session settings and user configurations.
User and Session Management: Built-in widgets enable users to view and modify settings specific to their collaboration session, such as simulated user activity and session state information.

Key Components#

Collaboration Settings Window: This is the main interface for accessing and adjusting live collaboration settings. It houses both session and user configuration panels.

Relationships#

The extension integrates with several key components of the Omniverse Kit ecosystem:

It depends on Omni UI for its user interface components.
It works alongside Omni USD and live session management extensions, such as the live session management widget and preference window extension.
Its design supports consistent settings management within the broader context of collaborative live sessions.

Considerations#

Live Session Focus: The settings provided by this extension are optimized for use during live collaboration workflows. They are not intended for offline or static USD stage configurations.
UI Consistency: The built-in UI components follow a consistent design established by the WidgetBuilder, ensuring that changes in one panel are reflected uniformly across the overall interface.

This extension is ready to use out-of-the-box, providing a practical and cohesive interface for managing live collaboration settings within the Omniverse Kit environment.
