Does Minetest will support Oculus rift? Is this possible?

For now Oculus is avalible as developer edition, consumer edition will be avalible in 2014 at a price not greater than 300$.
Nope

I think the right question to ask here is whether it is even possible for Oculus rift to be supported by Minetest.

Damn, why didn't I suggest this?

But then again, what's the use?

7:42 PM - Bauglio: so fudge the stable build
7:43 PM - Bauglio: get the staple build

Well.. an oculus rift dev kit is about $300, I don't think any of the devs wants to pay that.

It is good to wait for the consumer edition. Consumer edition will have better resolution and a lot of improvements in relation to the developer version, by the same or lower price.

wikipedia.org wrote:Developer kit: $300,
Consumer version: Unknown (rumored <$300)

Developer kit: 1280×800 (640×800 per eye),
Consumer version: ≥1920×1080
Nope

I think it will only make sense when coupled with an Omni treadmill. Otherwise, the Oculus alone for minetest makes no real sense to me :(
