Has any consideration been given to supporting other head mounted displays other than Oculus Rift? Have you seen any of the new technologies such as the Sony Morpheus and Avegant Glyph? Is this possible to support the other devices within Star Citizen?asked by JazAero
TL;DROther headsets such as Sony's Morpheus would be supported if they work on PC and fit the existing work, though the extent of consideration so far is unclear and nothing is promised for the Avegant Glyph.
Yes, we haven't... err... so, the Morpheus right now, from my understanding is just for the PS4. If they let it be used on a PC then we would definitely look at supporting that, and there's already been some work that has been done actually in CryEngine to support that, by Crytek.I don't know what the Avegant Glyph is, but if it's cool we probably would. I mean, we've looked at some other stuff like space glasses, which is sort of a cool glass you can wear that has an overlay on top, which may be something interesting for an overlaid HUD setup. But yeah, we kind of want to support a bunch of head-mounted displays and things also like TrackIR, so that's all on our list of stuff to do. So it all depends on what the tech is like, and is it cool, and also does it fit in with what we've done? So if we're already doing Oculus Rift support then things like Sony's Morpheus is an easier thing to support than doing it from scratch.So the answer is, yes, there has been some consideration - we're not quite sure exactly the extent of it.
