# Room 305 Digital Twin

A USD digital twin of NYCU Room 305 (lighting scene), built by the **Human-centered Intelligent System Lab (hcislab)** — [GitHub @HCIS-Lab](https://github.com/HCIS-Lab). Authored for **NVIDIA Isaac Sim 5.1**.

## Contents

```
nycu_light_collider.usd    # main scene — open this in Isaac Sim (geometry + colliders + materials + lights)
nycu_lights.usdz           # referenced geometry + textures (center.jpg, Translucent_Glass_Tinted.jpg)
```

`nycu_light_collider.usd` references `nycu_lights.usdz` by a **relative** path, so the two files must stay side by side. `snapshot_download` keeps them together automatically.

Scene stats (loaded in Isaac Sim 5.1): 443 meshes (~188k points), 419 materials / 459 shaders, a `DomeLight` + `RectLight`. Approx extent 12.1 × 7.0 × 3.4 m.

## Usage

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

path = snapshot_download(
    repo_id="hcislab/digital-twin",
    repo_type="dataset",
)
# open path/nycu_light_collider.usd in Isaac Sim 5.1
```

In Isaac Sim (Python):

```python
import omni.usd
omni.usd.get_context().open_stage(f"{path}/nycu_light_collider.usd")
```

## Notes

- Textures are bundled inside `nycu_lights.usdz` and resolve via relative paths — verified self-contained with `UsdUtils.ComputeAllDependencies`.
- Two references resolve **at runtime** in Isaac Sim / Omniverse and are intentionally not bundled:
  - `OmniGlass.mdl` — Omniverse stock material library.
  - A Cloudy dome-light HDR served from the Omniverse content CDN.
  Materials and dome lighting need an Omniverse asset connection / cache to display fully; geometry and the `RectLight` load without it.
- Verified to open cleanly in Isaac Sim 5.1 from a fresh download.
