Now, I have to wait for the arrival of my dev kit (surely not before may or june, since I'm a preorder) but I try to anticipate the eventual problems to do fusion of data coming from Kinect and Rift.
If I can get some good results, I'll share work and sources with everybody.
I'll keep you in touch.
