3D simulation environment

Project description

ThreeDWorld (TDW)

A Platform for Interactive Multi-Modal Physical Simulation

ThreeDWorld (TDW) is a platform for interactive multi-modal physical simulation. With TDW, users can simulate high-fidelity sensory data and physical interactions between mobile agents and objects in a wide variety of rich 3D environments.
