Nice.
Added Linux support to the Oculus C++ SDK and OculusWorldDemo, tested on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.- That new Tuscany demo (the Unity one) just rose right back to the top of my first-impressions demo list! Great work on this!
Looking forward to messing around with profiles and the new magnetometer calibration features. Very exciting stuff. :) - I love the config utility!
- Great to have the new config tool, this is definitely the way to go! Now all we need is as many games and demos as possible updated so they get and use the profile info.
About the new Tuscany demo, i think Oculus went a bit too crazy with the amount of flying thingies, butterflies and falling leafs, personally i would prefer something a bit more subtle (half or even less than that), but overall it is a nice improvement, kudos!!
