    Trying to get Rift to function in Unity.

    My Rift is working with Tuscany demo and other apps, so Rift should be OK.

    Unity works fine, a part from Rift problem.

    Have tried different Ubuntu, Unity and Oculus Utilities versions, but Rift is not working when running build.

    In Unity I have simple scene with an OVRCameraRig prefab imported as asset.

    But when building and running for Linux x86_64 with vr support enabled get the following warnings and errors.

    1...
    Unity v5.3.1f1, Oculus Utilities v0.1.3.0, OVRPlugin v0.0.0.0.

    2...
    This platform is unsupported
    UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning(Object)
    OVRManager:Awake() (at Assets/OVR/Scripts/OVRManager.cs:333

    3...
    DllNotFoundException: OVRPlugin
    OVRPlugin.GetStatus (Status bit) (at Assets/OVR/Scripts/OVRPlugin.cs:445)

    4...
    NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    OVRManager.Update () (at Assets/OVR/Scripts/OVRManager.cs:368)

    5...
    NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    OVRCameraRig.UpdateAnchors () (at Assets/OVR/Scripts/OVRCameraRig.cs:135)
    OVRCameraRig.Update () (at Assets/OVR/Scripts/OVRCameraRig.cs:109)

    Should OVR plugin not be some version? I think this is part of the problem, but do not know how to fix it.

    So the question is, have anyone made Rift and Unity work together on Ubuntu?
    Is it suppose to work at all?
    What could be the problem if it should work?

    They've disabled VR support for Linux and Mac because of screen tearing, from what I remember.

    Oculus download page has linux version v0.5.0.1
    I know development / support has been halted.
    But linux version v0.5.0.1 works without tearing in tuscany demo.
    So Rift is working just fine.

    Question was, can Rift work together with unity on linux?

    We currently don't support Oculus Rift on Linux, given that Oculus has temporarily dropped Linux support.
    They've announced that they'll reintroduce support for Linux at a later date (and we'll work to make sure it's supported at that time).

    One thing is support, another thing is if it is possible to make it work.
    What about previous versions or hacks?
