When is the SDK with full DK2 support going to be released?
I was just wondering when the SDK with full DK2 support is going to be released. I suspect it should be already ready. It would be nice to have that before people start receiving their DK2s.

- I talked to the Oculus guys about this last night at the OCVR meetup and how for a company that doesn't like to give deadlines this was a pretty real (and looming) one. They obviously didn't have a release day for me, but are aware of the concern and are working extremely hard to have something for DK2 developers. I would be surprised if we didn't have a newer SDK version by the time the first dev kits arrive.
As far as "full" support though, I personally wouldn't expect it to be perfect right off the bat. Welcome to the joys of pre-launch hardware development. :lol: - The current SDK will work with DK2, albeit in a limited sense. For full compatibility you will need the upcoming release. I don't have an exact release date, but we expect it to be available when people start receiving their DK2s in the mail.
- Thank you for the update.

There's no camera driver in the 0.3.2 SDK, which means no positional tracking yet. The SDK falls back to an integrated head/neck-model, though."basedeltazero" wrote:

You would get a basic experience with DK1 features at 1080p. Meaning head-tracking and rendering. I don't believe the DK2 features are fully supported yet (low persistence, positional tracking, etc.).- Will the Unity Integration package get updated at the same time as the SDK, or will it lag behind by days/weeks?
- I am also curious about Unreal Engine 4 integration. If it won't be supported from day one - it's not that big of a deal as it will get sorted out fairly quickly i believe. Have some thing going on in UE4 and my DK1 is OK for the moment :D But having problems reading things -for ex. HeadsUpDisplay.
