What is Gazebo?

Gazebosc is the Swiss armyknife for OSC data and OSC capable programs.

Gazebosc is a high level actor model programming environment. You can visually create actors and author them using a nodal UI. Actors are running concurrently and can be programmed sequentially using C, C++ or Python. Actors communicate using the OSC serialisation format.

Gazebo is a node based programming environment used to connect different hardware and software using the OSC protocol. It is an easy way to receive data from different sources on one central computer and then forward it to as many other OSC devices you want.
