Swapchain for Vulkan API?

I don't believe Vulkan will be supported in the near future (though maybe eventually). For the time being, you could probably use Vulkan to OpenGL interop to communicate with the Oculus SDK. Also, at least on Nvidia, the Vulkan drivers don't yet support VR.

Vulkan is not even in the main line driver with nvidia, so there is time.

It is the plague or cholera right now. The Vulkan branch is horrible in regards to DX12, so can't work with it…

Vulkan is dead in water:

S7 gpu is here. Where are vulkan based oculus examples?

Now, it's in the main stream for a while now. Any update?

This is the topmost post that appears when you google for 'vulkan oculus rift' for now, so I provide some updates and references here from elsewhere in this forum.

At February 6th, it was told Oculus is working on Vulkan support.

An another post, by jherico, shares a sample program on how to get Vulkan render to Oculus Rift on Nvidia cards right now.

Developer reference of the Oculus SDK doesn't show signs of the Vulkan swapchain at February 20th.

(Psst. Linux support, I'm still waiting for it, even if only via Vulkan...)

Vulkan API is finally supported by Oculus!
