Launcher application

The launcher application loads when the ARML boots. It scans the ARML applications directory and displays available applications in a menu. The application directory is usually at /home/fubintlab/Desktop/unitybuilds, but the launcher always uses its own path to derive the directory.

The launcher application also has a configuration menu, accessible by pressing the gear icon. The configuration choices here are saved to a JSON file in a shared data directory that is also accessible to the other Unity applications running on the ARML (in Unity, it is the Application.persistentDataPath). Applications built with the ARML SDK will read their configuration from this JSON file, so it is a way to persist system settings across all ARML applications.
