Oculus Rift Support

[Romulator]

...I still believe OR users are a minority in the gaming industry.

At the moment, yes, the consumer version isn't released yet. So that's yet to be determined.

And if you research some about VR in general, dozens and dozens of massive multimillionaire companies (including non technology/gaming companies) are investing and are hoping on the VR route. Once that has happened, it's inevitable that VR will be taking over the market. With power houses such as Valve, Sony, Microsoft, Facebook, and so on, there isn't much of a question.

VR isn't in the same spot it was when this thread was created, back when it was only Oculus (pre Facebook buyout). VR has gained so much speed and ground over the past year that once Valve launches in November and soon following Sony and Oculus, it'll most likely sweep over more then just the gaming industry.

Oh definitely! I mean, right now, Virtual Reality is becoming more and more noticeable in various industries and has massive potential for attracting and targeting specific audiences. Yet, the fact that it is still on a developing stage in terms of audience ownership, right now, VR and OR support is more a risk and/or production constraint especially for lower end companies.

On (November's or Q1 2016's) release, audience numbers, reaction and reception will be the primary motif for investment in the long term and it is likely that VR/OR is more or less the future of gaming, simulation and architectural/design processes (to name a few). To create compatible, relatively bug free and assistance based solutions will rely purely on purchases for income, just the same how most companies make money. Relying on audience numbers and purchased units is main basis for income.

But for now, the principal of you gotta have money to spend money to earn money applies - and while not relatively expensive (at least, for Occulus Rift users), there's still potential money loss during development if you find you're unable to reach a criteria set out.

Forgive if my arguments make no sense. Procrastinating on an assessment.
