    Is there a way to launch another program and display it as a texture in Unity?
    In fact, i have a code in another language and i don't have enough time to recode it in c#.
    the program i wanna display, only show images from an external device.

    Well... technically speaking, you could in certain cases.

    But it's so non-trivial that you couldn't do it as some basic "attach texture and go" sort of manner.

    The fact you're asking means the non-trivialness of it is far out of the scope of what you're wanting in the realm of "ease of use".

    So yeah... short answer... no.

    Well, this is probably possible, you'd have to implement the program as a na-
    Well then definitely no. This'll take longer.
