I probably would use network connection for this. So this is the raw pipeline: 1. Your computer is a server 2. Your mobile device connects to the server as client 3. Send GPS / Rotation / what ever data you want from client to server

These links should give you a good starting point: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/NetworkReferenceGuide.html http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Network.html

There is also easy to use tool / plugin for networking things: http://www.tasharen.com/?page_id=4518
