Description

Enable applications to present their existing OVRTX renderer and OVStage through OVXR while Isaac Capture supplies teleoperation input. The application owns simulation and scene publication; Isaac Capture owns XR frame submission, input/reset handling and its optional CloudXR runtime.

OvxrApplicationInterface combines publication and resource-ownership protocols and lends the renderer, Stage and ordinal ledger to OvxrSession. The session schedules work; OvxrFramePump owns native frame processing/retirement and CloudXRRuntimeOwner owns its launched runtime. Applications can inject a compatible runtime_launcher_factory. Stereo camera_paths are required; up_axis supports Y-up or Z-up stages, defaulting to Z. Pipelined results preserve reset edges and caller isolation with one context snapshot per asynchronous read.

Shutdown requests OpenXR exit, retires the context on its owner thread, then stops the owned CloudXR runtime. A bounded worker wait retains borrowers if retirement is unfinished. Startup failure before borrowers receive ownership retires without requiring a caller close; successfully started sessions require a context manager or explicit close. Interrupted cleanup propagates after required retirement; failed retarget-worker joins remain retryable. Unproven native destruction reports failure and retains dependent resources. The one-second runtime-interruption fallback is removed.

The optional ovxr extra leaves ordinary Isaac Capture imports unchanged. PiP/shared frame consumers belong to #1295; mirror presentation belongs to #1296.

Testing

Linux x86-64, Python 3.12: 81 session and 151 teleoperation tests passed at this PR boundary, including Y/Z descriptor selection, required stereo paths, reset/caller isolation, interruption and retryable cleanup. CI-equivalent pre-commit passed.

The preceding cumulative candidate passed 1,045 tests across 30 OVXR/CloudXR/teleoperation modules and GR1T2/fixed-base G1 IWER motion, Reset and teardown checks. New boundary results above qualify this follow-up; they are not full-repository or physical-headset coverage. The startup regression fails when the old readiness-only teardown gate is restored. Historical cold attach and intermittent first-Play recovery remain open.

Rebased onto main at a0a06c7d: 314 session/teleoperation tests passed, along with CI-equivalent pre-commit. The reviewed feature delta is preserved; release validation now retains upstream license/SBOM and finished-wheel import checks before camera/mirror verification and upload. Tests reused existing native binaries; a fresh build against updated upstream, release-wheel CI, and new IWER/headset/performance qualification remain unverified.

Walkthrough

The changes add optional OVXR dependencies and documentation, plus an application-neutral OVXR session manager for rendering and resource teardown. CloudXR runtime interruption and stop now share serialized termination. Teleop sessions preserve reset edges until successful delivery and retain cleanup failures that prevent safe reuse.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 90820

If startup is interrupted while waiting for the headset to connect, a background render thread can stay alive and keep the process from exiting. The fix is small. This is not a merge blocker, but it is worth fixing soon.

Explanation

The title "Enable OVXR teleoperation with an application-owned renderer and scene" matches the main change. The PR adds optional OVXR support through the new OvxrSession and OvxrApplicationInterface, which let an application that owns an OVRTX renderer and OVStage scene drive XR frame submission. The changeset also includes the ovxr extra, docs, CloudXR interrupt handling, and reset-latching changes, which the title does not mention but which are secondary to the main change.

Automated review (Claude Code) of 583ffef. 10 findings: the first six are correctness/lifecycle concerns, the rest are API and cleanup. These have not been independently verified, so please treat them as candidates.

Design review across the OVXR stack (#1294, #1295, #1296). Summary: keep XR on its own thread; reduce the session to a state machine that pumps frames, with PiP and the mirror as consumers. Inline comments cover the session structure here; PiP and mirror specifics are on #1295 and #1296.
