Decision brief
Habitat-Sim is ideal for researchers and developers needing high-performance simulation capabilities for 3D environments in Embodied AI.
Good fit when
- When you require high performance simulation of 3D environments for research in embodied artificial intelligence
- If your project benefits from active development support via source installation methods, which can offer cutting-edge features and fixes before they are available via package managers
Avoid when
- If your project does not require the performance characteristics that Habitat-Sim provides for embodied AI research; a less specialized tool might be sufficient or more user-friendly
- When you have limited development resources since building from source requires an understanding of C++ and handling potential build issues could divert significant effort
- Requirements:
- Installation can be done via Conda, pip, Docker, or building from source. Building from source requires C++ development environment setup.
