New Project: Implementing Oculus Rift into Torque3D

In a few months, I'll be delving into an major implementation project involving trying to implement the Oculus Rift SDK inside of the latest release of Torque3D. What is Oculus Rift you ask?

Watch this video:


This is the most realistic, immersive VR technology to [almost] hit the market to date, in terms of the computer entertainment industry targeted specifically at games. This will be a huge undertaking, but I think if I pull it off, it'll be a great feature to have included in all future releases of Torque3D. I'll be looking towards the new Torque3D Steering communities support and contributors for more streamlined support for 3rd party input devices, and probably won't start until that portion of the engine gets released. Once a new stable binary is released on GitHub, that's when this undertaking will take place. Figured I'd announce it to the community in case that people wanted to contribute to this effort or post comments and ideas. We have plenty of smart people in this community and I think this would set Torque3D apart from other engines if we can be the first indie engine with Oculus Rift support.
