[L2Ork-dev] pd-L2ORK and VIrtual Reality Peripheral Network (VRPN)

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Hi Francois,

I am not sure if there is a way to interface with VRPN using built-in 
externals as I am not familiar with the protocol enough to answer this. 
That said, with a bit of googling, it appears someone has already 
developed externals just for this puporse:

https://github.com/scrime/vrpd

Hope this helps! If you find that the external works well, we'll 
certainly consider bundling it with pd-l2ork.

Best,

Ico
