[Gear VR] SDKs as plugins for UE4 ?
I am wondering why doesn't Oculus make a plugin for UE4, the same way it does Utilities and such for Unity. I get it, Unity is what you guys use on daily basis, but it was my understanding you also us...

If anything, stuff like Audio and Mobile SDK, and Social (including lip sync) could have been done as a plugin (right?)

Right now, a lot of our internal apps for Rift use UE4, but most of our internal mobile apps use Unity. Both choices were mainly made based on the workflow preferences of our content teams. It's true that Unity is what the vast majority of mobile VR devs use. But UE4 also has a growing presence with apps such as CCP's Gunjack.
Unity is what you guys use on daily basis, but it was my understanding you also use UE4 on daily basis :/
