Addon to bring virtual reality devices to the Blender viewport.

This is work in progress, use at your own risk.

• Blender 2.77 (https://builder.blender.org/download)

Oculus Legacy (Linux, Mac, Windows)

• Oculus 0.5 runtime

Oculus (Windows)

• Oculus 1.5 runtime

In the User Preferences, Add-ons, 3D View: Virtual Reality Viewport select the Display Backend you want to use.

In the viewport go to the toolshelf, select the Virtual Reality tab, click on the Virtual Reality button and follow the on-screen instructions.

Video of an old version of the plugin working:

You can get the latest version of the Addon here: http://www.dalaifelinto.com/ftp/builds/space_view3d_virtual_reality.zip

In a terminal paste the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/dfelinto/virtual_reality_viewport.git
$ cd virtual_reality_viewport
$ git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
$ zip -x __pycache__ -x */.git* -r9 space_view3d_virtual_reality.zip space_view3d_virtual_reality

Now install the space_view3d_virtual_reality.zip in Blender as an addon.

In a terminal paste the following commands:

$ git pull origin master
$ git submodule update --recursive --remote

Followed by the rsync command for your OS:

Mac:

$ rsync -rv --exclude=.DS_Store --exclude=.git --exclude=*.blend1 --exclude=*.blend2 --exclude=*.swp --exclude=*.swo space_view3d_virtual_reality ~/Library/Application\ Support/Blender/2.76/scripts/addons/

Linux:

$ rsync -rv --exclude=.DS_Store --exclude=.git --exclude=*.blend1 --exclude=*.blend2 --exclude=*.swp --exclude=*.swo space_view3d_virtual_reality ~/.config/blender/2.76/scripts/addons/

Optionally, instead of rsync you can generate a new .zip, remove the previous version of the addon and re-install it.
