OSC (Open Sound Control) is a widely used protocol for real-time data transmission over networks and is a crucial tool for creating interactive art and installations.

While Unreal Engine provides an official plugin for handling OSC protocols, through my personal and professional experiences in interactive projects, I have found its shortcomings in terms of intuitiveness and ease of use. Particularly, artists who are not proficient in using Blueprint face challenges in setting up servers and managing event delegates.

To address these issues, I started the development of this Unreal Engine plugin, which acts as a wrapper for the official OSC plugin functionalities, offering an intuitive yet informative GUI. My objective is to simplify the entire process of setting up an OSC server, listening for OSC addresses, and sending outgoing messages, allowing users to manage all aspects of OSC messaging all in one place. Additionally, the plugin allows users to persist settings across different levels without the need for repeated setup.

This project is currently in development, and the source code is available on GitHub.
