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.
