Need Help getting started with oculus VR + Unity

Is there out on the web a guide for using the "oculusVR" for development of games on "unity"?

  • I got started two days ago. Best bet for me was to load the tuscany demo, and go from there. The player prefab they use is in the OVR package "OVRPlayer" something.

    It should just work in any scene with the arrow keys and what not.

    Incontrol by Gallant Games (asset store) is a great tool for using controllers etc, not too difficult to get it working w/ the oculus code.

    Just save your work often, back up often -- there's a black-box bug, I think, where when something the rift doesn't like happens (shader it doesn't like, error during building, using uGUI on screen space) the game screen will remain black during play, and no matter what you do after, it remains black. idk why. It's annoying as hell though because even some backups, for me, stop working.

    Have you tried looking over this guide?

    http://www.academia.edu/5169019/Oculus_VR_Inc_Oculus_Unity_Integration_Guide

    This document will outline the steps required to get a Rift up and running in Unity. It will then go through some of the details within the integration so you have a better understanding of what’s going on under the hood.We hope that the process of getting your Rift integrated into your Unity environment is a fun and easy experience.

    The above was quoted from the Introduction paragraph of that pdf guide.

    The guide seems to have a very comprehensive outlook on its integration of Unity.
    Not sure you if you ran across this or are looking for something different.

    Please let me know if this helps. I'll try to provide more guides resources down the road.
