fetching live input data -> viewport update

[berniebernie]

Would this be remotely possible without the use of a plug-in ?

Can javascript 'catch' a stream of data in the background (or even read from a file periodically) and update the viewport without a manual user update ?

thanks

Quite possibly. You can use the app.scheduleTask() method to repeatedly execute code after a specified delay. So it should be possible to get it to periodically read a text file, update the project accordingly and do a render.
