+# MuJoCo Studio
+
+MuJoCo Studio is the next iteration of the [simulate](../../../simulate)
+application. The UI has been reimplemented using [Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui)
+and the default renderer has been switched to Filament. The application is
+still WIP, see the [Future Work](#future-work) section for details.
+
+## Usage
+
+Configure and build MuJoCo Studio by running this command from the top-level
+directory. Then follow the printed instructions to run the executable.
+
+```
+bash build.sh
+```
+
+> [!NOTE] For now [`build.sh`](build.sh) script works on windows in a git bash
+> shell.
+
+## Development
+
+The [`build.sh`](build.sh) script is intended to get you up and running quickly.
+If you intend to develop the application you may prefer to work from an IDE:
+
+* [Clion](https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/). You should be able to set this up
+  to work with the cmake files we provide.
+
+* [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/). We have found that Microsoft's
+  [CMake Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cmake-tools)
+  extension works well.
+
+* [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/). Follow these
+  [instructions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/cmake-projects-in-visual-studio?view=msvc-170).
+
+## Filament Rendering
+
+Studio uses legacy OpenGL rendering by default but there is an option to use
+Physically Based Rendering via [Filament](https://google.github.io/filament/Filament.md.html).
+To enable Filament you need to `-DMUJOCO_USE_FILAMENT=ON` during the cmake
+configuration step. The Filament renderer has multiple rendering backends,
+on Linux OpenGL is the default but Vulkan can be used by also providing
+the `-DMUJOCO_USE_FILAMENT_VULKAN=ON` option.
+
+Also note that you will need to run the application from the folder containing
+the executable so that the expected materials/assets can be found.
+
+> [!WARNING] Filament rendering currently supported on Linux. We are actively
+> working on bugs and build issues we've encountered on MacOS and Windows.
+> Contributions improving support on those platforms are very welcome, your
+> fixes may need to be applied in the upstream [Filament](https://github.com/google/filament)
+> GitHub repository.
+
+## Known Bugs
+
+* MuJoCo Studio does not yet work using Wayland on Linux, use X11 instead.
+
+## Future Work
+
+1. **Stability and Robustness**. We need user feedback to find and fix bugs.
+
+1. **UI/UX improvements**. We have ported the simulate UI to make it easier to
+users to switch. We will be making further changes to make use of the
+flexibility offered by Dear ImGui ([examples](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/8942)).
+
+1. **Python integration**. As with simulate, we would like to make Studio usable
+  via Python.
