Refactor opensim-gui to use the opensim-viewer codebase underneath #117

Open aymanhab opened 10 months ago

While we can use the javascript code as is to display the static viewer inside the opensim-gui work need to be done to explore:

  1. Using gltf in memory to communicate with the viewer
  2. 2-way communication with the viewer (as needed by the edit functionality)
  3. Handle off-line operation without backend and possibly no python connection

There's support to run ReactApp and access it using websockets, the specifics for the openim-viewer and the opensim-gui need to be ironed out. The pros of this approach:

  1. Lighter coupling between the gui and the viewer
  2. Ease of upgrading and integrating other third party tools that are React based.
