How difficult is it to let a program run "on top" of others? I need something like a tutorial-avatar

Hi all.

Is it possible and if so, how difficult is it to have a small software sitting on top of other software. What I need for my masters thesis is some kind of tutorial or guiding avatar that communicates with the user and which is prerecorded. In other words, I use program A, B or C and my actions (headset (HTC Vive) and controllers) get recorded. Later the user should be able to use the same programs A, B or C and get guided / instructions by "me". The user should also be able to participate in the programs of course.

I need certain different underlying software so it would be nice if it would run with any software. Or would it be necessary to adjust it to every underlying software?

If such a thing is possible, could anybody point me in a direction on how to achieve this?

I am just wondering if it s correct to post this question here since there is also a questions-section. If it is wrong I expect it to be deleted by a mod. Sorry

Thanks a lot
Cheers
Nicolas

 

It's easy . . . just do this:



In more seriousness, one solution would be interprocess communication:
