I think it could be pretty difficult, actually, because of the fisheye rendering thing, which supposedly uses some programmable shader stuff and not just a custom FOV. Like I said, this thing is probably not going to be a good 3D viewer, but there are already products like that out there.

The way I see it, we have drivers that can force games to render two viewports, so maybe it isn't crazy to force FOV changes (I think I've seen generic FOV-overriding applications on widescreen enthusiast forums) and combine the views onto a buffer. There are enthusiasts that already have Source games and Mirror's Edge and a few others rendering in a Rift-ready fashion, too, so maybe if I'm being way too optimistic here existing games won't be that hard to manually patch.

I keep reading impressions of this thing and I find myself wishing I had dropped the cash for a dev unit. A year is so far away!

You can still pre-order the April 2013 dev-units at the site.

I stab myself with a toothpick whenever I get the temptation to order the dev kit. Got to hold out for the consumer model.

[sedition]

yeah probably the best idea. Just save it for the real model.

[James]

That's the plan. I'd rather have the consumer edition, no matter how nice it would be to live in The Future!!!.

I am this close to getting a dev kit.

Should anything stop me? Mirror's Edge in VR would be apeshit
