I have built a VR setup for insects using panda3d and ROS with many hardware components in linux for my thesis. But Panda3d is severely outdated and has limited community support and Unity is the next best thing. Is it possible to communicate between ROS and unity linux builds? It would be extremely useful if you provide hints how to do it using ROS#.

p.s. Pardon me if this was there in the wiki or is very obvious. I am new to C# and unity and assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @pvnkmrksk ! Thanks for your interest in ROS#!
Though we focused on Windows platforms in our developments, other members from this community are successfully using ROS# on Linux systems, see e.g. here. We are profiting from the multi-platform support provided by Unity and .NET.

If this answers your question, please close this issue.

Thank you for this fantastic repo. Yes, I managed to get it all running within ubuntu by just using "ws://localhost:9090". Will post my entire repo which ported from panda3d to unity using this soon. And again, great job folks.
