User Guide

RealityConnect for Omniverse bridges the gap between high-fidelity digital twins and your Omniverse stage. It streams large-scale RealityTwin environments and individual Reality Assets directly into Omniverse — entirely in memory, with progressive view-dependent refinement, so there is no need to download or import files to disk.

Opening the plugin

Once the extension is installed and loaded, RealityConnect adds a button to the main toolbar of your Omniverse application.

1. Click the Open Prevu3D RealityConnect button on the toolbar to open the panel.

2. Click it again at any time to hide or re-show the panel.

The Sites, Assets, Settings, and About tabs become available after you sign in.

No toolbar button?

The toolbar button is added by the RealityConnect extension. If the extensions were installed without automatic launch setup — for example, a Windows install without the Start Menu shortcut — open Window > Extensions, switch to the Third Party tab, turn on Prevu3D RealityConnect Core, and tick Autoload so it loads every session. The button then appears on the main toolbar.

Accessing your data

Signing in

To access your data, you must first sign in to your Prevu3D account.

1. In the RealityConnect panel, click Connect to RealityPlatform. A web browser opens and redirects you to the Prevu3D sign-in page. The panel shows Waiting for authentication in the meantime.

2. In the web browser, sign in to your Prevu3D account and authorize the plugin to access your organization’s data.

3. Back in Omniverse, the panel shows Loading your sites… and then opens the Sites tab.

Note

If sign-in does not complete — for example, if you closed the browser tab or your session timed out — the panel shows Authentication failed. Click Try again to restart sign-in.

Browsing your sites

Once signed in, the Sites tab lists the data you have access to, grouped under your organization.

1. Divisions — each division row shows how many sites it contains. Click a row to expand or collapse it and reveal its Sites and the RealityTwins within them.

2. Refresh — reload the list from RealityPlatform at any time.

Connecting to a twin

1. Click a RealityTwin to select it. The row expands into a card with a Connect button.

2. Click Connect. The row shows Status: connecting… while the session is established, then Status: Connected once the environment begins streaming into your stage.

3. As you move the camera, the environment streams in progressively.

To stop streaming, click Disconnect on the connected row. If a connection fails, the row shows Status: Not connected with a Retry button — click it to try again.

Note

If a site has no RealityTwin yet, selecting it shows the message “This site does not have a RealityTwin. Set up one first, or select another site that has a RealityTwin.”

Site display

The streamed RealityTwin environment gives you immediate site context in your stage.

• Show or hide the environment Use the Display the site toggle at the top of the Sites tab (it is also available on the connected-site card at the top of the Assets tab). The toggle becomes active once a twin is streaming.

• In-memory streaming The environment streams entirely in memory, without creating or loading files on disk, keeping interaction fast and the impact on system resources low.

• View-dependent refinement The scene is progressively refined based on the camera position, improving visual quality where it matters while maintaining smooth performance as you navigate.

1. Display the site toggle (on) — the environment is shown in your stage.

2. Displaying site — the connected row confirms the environment is visible. Turn the toggle off and it changes to Not displaying site: the environment is hidden, but the RealityTwin stays connected (Status: Connected), so you can show it again instantly without re-streaming.

Assets

The Assets tab lets you browse, load, and manage the Reality Assets attached to the connected RealityTwin. The card at the top of the tab shows the connected twin, its Display the site toggle, and the connection status. If no twin is connected, the tab shows No site connected with a Go to sites button.

Asset operations

1. Load (N) — loads the assets you have selected, where N is the number of selected assets that are ready to load.

2. Unload (N) — removes the selected loaded assets from the stage. With nothing selected, this unloads all loaded assets. An unloaded asset stays available for re-loading later.

3. Export as USD — exports the selected loaded assets as USD. A file picker opens — “Export as USD - choose file name and format” — where you choose a destination and file name and click Export. A progress bar runs along the button while the export completes.

4. Locate — the pin icon on each row moves the camera to focus on that asset. It becomes available once the asset is Loaded.

Asset status

Each row shows the current state of its asset:

Status	Meaning
Ready	The asset is available but not loaded.
Loading…	The asset is streaming in. Click the ✕ on the badge to cancel.
Loaded	The asset is in the stage.
Unloading…	The asset is being removed from the stage.
Error	The asset could not be loaded. Hover the badge to see the reason.

Filtering and selecting assets

1. Search — type in the Search assets box to filter the list by name. Filtering happens as you type and is case-insensitive.

2. Refresh — reloads the asset list from the connected RealityTwin.

3. Select — tick a row’s checkbox to choose it (or the header checkbox to select every visible row) before loading or unloading.

4. Quality — each row has its own quality picker (Low, Medium, High). Set the quality you want before loading; the asset streams at that quality. You can mix qualities across a selection.

Asset count summary

The footer shows live counts: Selected, Loaded, and Total. When a search filter hides rows, the total appears as a visible-over-full count (for example, Total: 12/50).

Settings

The Settings tab controls the streaming quality of the environment and the language of the plugin interface.

Streaming quality — choose the preset that matches your hardware and use case:

Preset	Best for
Low	Fewest tiles, best framerate.
Medium	More coverage, may impact framerate.
High	Best coverage, heaviest GPU load.

Changes apply immediately to the active stream; the stream briefly restarts to apply a new quality tier.

Language — choose the language of the RealityConnect interface. The plugin is available in English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. The panel updates to your chosen language right away.

About

The About tab shows the installed plugin version and quick links to the Omniverse plugin documentation, the Prevu3D documentation, and Support.

Minimizing to the tray

Click the Minimize button in the panel header to collapse RealityConnect to a small tray docked at the bottom-right corner of the Omniverse window.

From the tray:

1. Restore — bring the panel back to its previous size and position.

2. Close — dismiss the tray.
