Control virtual camera & lights in Unreal Engine 5 using Android Sensors | OSC Protocol! (Tutorial)

Welcome to my first tutorial video! In this step-by-step guide, you'll learn how to leverage the OSC (Open Sound Control) Protocol in Unreal Engine 5.4 to create an OSC server and receive messages from Android sensors.

Key highlights include:

1. Setting up an OSC server to receive data from various Android sensors.

2. Using Android rotation sensors to control the Unreal Engine camera.

3. Controlling Unreal Engine lights with Android light sensors.

Designed for beginners, this tutorial covers essential aspects of Unreal Engine, including rotation vectors, OSC communication, and a variety of tips and tricks to help you get started.

Join me and discover how to enhance your Unreal Engine projects with real-time sensor data from your Android device!
