Has anyone tried to use the Unity3D engine ( on desktop ) as the rendering engine for digital signage?
How would you get Unity to dynamically change what is on screen via say, network messages?
Thanks.
Unity would probably be the best solution to produce digital signage that needed 3D content.
To get unity to change content via a network signal. Theres alot of ways.
Simplest would probably be to have it periodically download an XML file from a http address, parse the file, do what it says.
A little more complex would be to set up it’s multiplayer functionality. You could make it so you have once instance of unity running on one machine, then all other machines would connect to it like it were a multiplayer server and replicate what it does.
