A Daydream about Samsung Dex (pun intended)

[GreyPoupwn]

I was just thinking how neat it’d be to run an Android version of the Unity Editor while plugged into a Dex. I could deploy my APKs directly to my phone, look at the ADB logcat stream on the monitor connected to the Dex, and play the build on my phone at the same time.

I am aware this is more of a pipe dream than a daydream. Just sharing

It should be doable if you manage to find a VNC/remote desktop client that works on android device.Unity will still run on your PC, it is just events/graphics will be forwarded to the phone.

Doesn’t Unity Remote do this already? I vaguely recall doing this with my iPhone so I could get the input right on a mobile prototype.
