Oculus Rift Support? Would be Amazing

Any chance of adding Oculus Rift support in future?

I've been using my DK2 unit with Elite Dangerous for months now and simply won't go back to a monitor, the immersion and 3D effect are that good (resolution isn't super high yet but it would be fine for Heli-X until the released version).

EDIT: I see some people have Java with the Rift:

JOVR – JAVA BINDINGS FOR OCULUS RIFT SDK 0.4.2.0

Thanks

Are you a programmer?

You could try it with the jmonkeyengine, this is, what is used in HELI-X.

i'm also interested in Oculus Rift support. Checked out a few libraries and there is one that has recent updates for the DK2. I've exported it here into GitHub for familiarity: https://github.com/joelsweb/jmonkeyengine-oculus-rift

Looks like the setup is straightforward as there is a class OVHApplication that extends the JME SimpleApplication. Most of the time will be spent reworking the GUI, although a simple preconfigured scene should be possible as a proof of concept.
