Hi @dvargasfr
I tried out your Unity solution, but unfortunately it did not work for me.

I Used Unity 2018.2.91f,
the ros2-dotnet-uwp-x84 prebuild release from ros2_dotnet (https://github.com/esteve/ros2_dotnet/releases),
and the Hololens Emulator to test it.

I encountered a deviation from the instruction when I tried to add the reference to the rcldotnet_assemblies.dll, rcldotnet_common.dll and the std_msgs_assemblies.dll.
I got an error message telling me that the references cant be included, because they already exist.

After starting the Hololens Emulator, the application was terminated due to an System.DllNotFoundException in rcldotnet_common.dll

I tried adding thercldotnet_assemblies.dll, rcldotnet_common.dll and the std_msgs_assemblies.dll to the project as well but that did not change anything

Hi,

I noticed that there is a lot of overlap between what you guys are working on and what I have been doing with https://github.com/DynoRobotics/unity_ros2

My main goal is to use Unity as a large scale multi-robot simulator with human avatars.
Here are some examples of what I have been using my project for this far:

I was unfortunately not able to get ros2_dotnet working for the crystal release. Since I needed navigation2 and actions I implemented my own message generator and csharp wrapper with a lot the same new functionality you have been working on (lists of nested types, tf, paths, laser scan etc.)

I also have fairly extensive unit tests in my wrapper (https://github.com/DynoRobotics/rclcs/tree/master/src/dotnet/Test)
which seems to be a future milestone of this project as well.

As @esteve already mentioned in ros2/design#84 this amount of effort duplication is pretty unfortunate...

I'm planning to write a guide on how to install my Unity project and run the navigation2 stack with a turtlebot3 in this week.

Do you think there is some way we can merge the result of our projects? I have already offered to contribute my wrapper and generator as a crystal branch of ros2_dotnet, but that could make it difficult to migrate ARViz to crystal.

Not really sure what the best way forward is... Do you have any ideas?
