Created and updated the entry "Model: Gazebo" in the wiki:

https://sourceforge.net/p/servocontrolvisualderobots/wiki/browse_pages/

Notice: in most cases (also for this project) you will need to install OpenCV and make it work with ViSP. To do that you need to install OpenCV first and then install ViSP.

to install OpenCV follow this tutorial:
http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/linux_install/linux_install.html

For full information about installing ViSP you can follow this tutorial:

We created a virtual machine and installed the following:

1- operating system : Lubuntu 14.04 x64.
2- ROS Indigo.
3- MoveIT.
4- Gazebo.
5- ViSP.
6- GIT.

You can find a link for the virtual machine below.
