Display outside applications (like a python command-line application - cmd.exe) inside VR scene?

Unity Engine

Hi there,
I was wondering, after seeing a few of the excellent EditorVR features (like the windows you can place in the scene while editing), how to display an outside window like a Windows CMD window with a scrolling command-line application. I have real trouble solving this question.

For context, I try to build a very simple scene, a room like a control room with walls full of scrolling and working command-line applications (built on python). There doesn’t even need to be any kind of interaction, it should just be a cmd.exe running on the same pc. This is then a simple room you can use with a Vive.

Thank you for any pointers!

Have you tried getting python running inside unity. Once you have that then you could just map the output of a script to a scroll-able text area.

I know c has a system/execv call for issuing commands and capturing stdout. Python almost definitely has the same thing somewhere
