Extensibility:
Omniverse apps, such as Omniverse Create or Omniverse View, are composed of a collection of specific Omniverse Kit Extensions. Extensions can be leveraged by developers in building their own workflows for faster time to development, with more regularly being created by NVIDIA or third parties. The collaborative possibilities will be endless.
