Send strings from PC to Standalone Quest App
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a (preferrably simple) solution to send strings from my computer to a running standalone application on my Quest.
Basically I want to create 2 unity applications:
1. Mini PC App (the app lets you type in a string (e.g. "Hello World!") and send it to the quest (in the same wifi)
2. A standalone Quest app that receives the string as soon as it was sent and displays the string on e.g. a whiteboard.
Is this possible? How would I achieve this?
Thanks in advance and best wishes!

If you can live with needing an internet connection, then you can just use a networked multiplayer solution like Photon PUN. Use RPCs to call a method on the Quest.
If you're offline but can get both PC and Quest on a local wifi hotspot then an asset like FMETP Stream (from the Unity asset store) will allow you to send simple string events. You don't need to add the streaming component to the camera, you can just use the server component and it handles connecting the devices and sending/receiving unity events.
