EVIS: A Physics-Grounded Event Camera Plugin for NVIDIA Isaac Sim

Event cameras offer microsecond temporal resolution, low latency, and high dynamic range, making them attractive for robotics. However, labeled event-camera data for a specific robot and scene is scarce and expensive to collect, which slows the development of event-based perception and control. We present EVIS: a physics-grounded event camera plugin for NVIDIA Isaac Sim that generates high-rate, fully labeled event streams directly inside a physics simulator. The plugin implements a faithful log-intensity contrast event model with per-pixel asynchronous reference updates; it migrates from a normal RGB camera with few changes and integrates into any Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab scene, inheriting the simulator's physics and frame-perfect ground truth. It is fully configurable, and offers an interpolation option that renders only sparse keyframes and synthesizes the in-between frames through bidirectional motion-vector warping, making real-time generation on a single GPU possible. Optional sensor noise and motion blur further narrow the gap to real cameras. The generated streams are directly usable by pretrained event networks for downstream tasks.
