    Hi guys,

    I was wondering if Unity 5 can be used to develop Oculus Rift using the latest Oculus SDK ? According to the documentation Unity 4.6 should be used but what about Unity 5 ?

    Thank you

    No problem at all.
    5.1 will even support the rift without the need of importing any packages anymore (it already does in current Beta).

    Bali33, you just need to download the Unity 4 integration package and import it into a Unity 5 project. The package includes a camera prefab; just plonk that into your scene and you're good to go. You also need the Oculus runtime for Mac / Windows.

    I don't think you want to use the Unity 4 integration package with Unity 5. Unity 5 changes how VR works (for the better, it's easier to use now). Don't mix the VR stuff between 4 and 5 or you'll have problems.
