Visualize map from another computer

[iprob]

Hi,

Is it possible to open the visualizer and see the map creation in real-time from another computer that doesn't have ROS?

Thank you in advance,
Inés

No, it uses ros topics to share data between computers.

cheers,

Ok, thank you. And how could I visualize it using ROS from other computer? Only by rviz or is it possible to use the rtabmap visualizer?

[matlabbe]

You can use both, rviz or rtabmapviz.
