Background input
We're trying to get input send to Unity in the background, while running a simulation in a program that doesn't allow tabbing out, to get some different timers running. So the Unity won't be focused but will run in the background.
I googled and found posts without answers, someone said this:
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/400448/joystick-inputs-on-an-inactive-window.html
But not sure what this is, anyone who can expalin it, or any ideas to the approach.
What kind of input? Is this a general app, or something specific to one machine? As a hack, you can always have Unity poll for a file either locally or on the web.

Check out this GitHub project: https://github.com/Elringus/UnityRawInput
It allows getting input events event when the application is not in focus.
