Hi All
Need some help from the experts.
I have quick question:
Is is possible to use a VRPN that outputs to a web browser with visual indicators of the variable?
PS: Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

IMO this is more a question to the people who have implemented VRPN. From openvibe's viewpoint, VRPN is a channel to transmit generic stuff: keypresses and data. Whats in the other end is of no concern to openvibe. On a high level, I'd suppose it goes like this: Some VRPN-enabled application constantly runs on the same machine as your web *server* and receives data from OpenViBE. The user's webbrowser *client* connects to the server over http. The server gives the users browser a *view* to the VRPN-enabled application.
Maybe you can find a more simple solution; for example, you could have a VRPN application constantly writing stuff to a file, and have the web browser reload the file.
Best,
