I can't get Isaac Sim's camera footage on Windows 11 using WSL2

Dear Sir or Madam

I’m trying to communicate with Isaac Sim on windows11 and ROS2 on WSL2.
I was able to see a list of topics published by Nova Carter by running the command “ros2 topic list” on WSL2.
I was also able to check the contents of the topic on the command line by running “ros2 topic echo /tf” on WSL2.
I ran “ros2 run teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard” on WSL2 and sent a Twist-type topic to Isaac Sim, and confirmed that Nova Carter moved.
However, a problem occurred when I ran the command “ros2 run rqt_image_view rqt_image_view” on WSL2.
I encountered an issue where the Nova Carter camera footage was not displayed in rqt_image_view, and instead a large number of packets were being sent over the network, straining the lines.
I set up the environment using a similar method on Windows 10, and no problems occurred on Windows 10.
Here is the windows11 development environment where this issue was occurring:

windows11 (22631.4751)
Isaac Sim 4.2.0 (omniverse://localhost/NVIDIA/Assets/Isaac/4.2/Isaac/Samples/ROS2/Scenario/carter_warehouse_apriltags_worker.usd)
WSL2 (2.3.26.0) (Ubuntu 22.04.5)
ROS2 humble
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop
Nvidia Driver Version: 566.36
CUDA Version: 12.7

Additional Information

What I’ve Tried

Disable hyper-v firewall
Change ROS2 settings from multicast to unicast

Best regards,

Please refer to this note from ROS2 Cameras — Omniverse IsaacSim of Isaac Sim 4.2.0:

In Windows 10 and 11, rqt_image_view is unavailable.

Consider trying the upcoming release.

Thank you for the reply.

I understood that rqt_image_view is not supported on windows.

Although it is not possible to obtain images using rqt_image_view on WSL on Windows, do packages that require images on WSL, such as Isaac ROS Visual SLAM, Isaac ROS Nvblox, and Isaac Perceptor, work with the combination of Windows + WSL?

Best regards,

Isaac ROS is experimental on Windows 11. Please refer to this page.

Thank you for the reply.

I understand that if I want to use Isaac ROS, I currently need to use Ubuntu.

Best regards,
