Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, Isaac Teleop device plugin has to live on the same machine where the CloudXR runtime is.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be useful to have those device plugin to run on a remote machine that can talk to either CloudXR runtime or Isaac Teleop via PRC (implementation detail TBD)
Describe alternatives you've considered
For certain devices (e.g. gamepad) that can be connect to the XR HMD, using CXR's opaque data channel can be a good approach as well. However, it's not as generalized: b/c 1) not all devices can be easily connect to HMD (e.g. Manus gloves); 2) We don't want to require XR HMD as part of the pipeline.
