A modular and flexible software package for performing VR animal experiments in Unity.

Install Instructions

Requirements

• Right now, this package is Windows only(!) Although Linux/Mac support could be added at a later time.
• Device and external software communication occurs over the MQTT protocol and Gimbl expects access to a MQTT Broker (local or on the network). We have tested the software with the Eclipse Mosquitto broker which can be downloaded here.
