Help needed. Prevent OS sleep.
Any advice on how to prevent an OS from going to sleep for any of that make VR games that don't require input from a keyboard / mouse / controller. I can't exactly tell the player to change their power profile.

- Well you should, because there's no easy way for that. Not in unity.
- That's a good point. Let me see what I can find out.
- On Windows, the solution I think is to send some bogus mouse input using SendInput, but I have no idea how to do this in a cross-platform way. Really good question!
- I just tested this on Winodws 7, and there seems to be no problem. I set sleep to kick in after 1 minute. Then I opened Tuscany Unity and left my desk. Even after a few minutes, the machine did not go to sleep. It appears having a full-screen game running prevents sleep mode.

Windows is giving me a completely different issue. Any notification (updates for Java, steam, anything) minimizes the Unity build (always freaks me out).
I'm still diving into how to address these oddities.
