It may be worth looking into re-using the VTK module `vtkOmniverseConnector` developed in the context of [NVIDIA-Omniverse/ParaViewConnector/](https://github.com/NVIDIA-Omniverse/ParaViewConnector/) project.
Related to USD support, the recent work from @Davide_Punzo published in Slicer pull request [#8141](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/8141) is likely relevant.

there is also this importer [f3d/plugins/usd/module at master · f3d-app/f3d · GitHub](https://github.com/f3d-app/f3d/tree/master/plugins/usd/module).
regarding [ENH: Add JSON format for writing/reading scene and nodes by Punzo · Pull Request #8141 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/8141) is a preliminary PR for JSON support, but yes on the long term ideally we would like to support OpenUSD in Slicer core.
