Java Wrapper. First Version!

Hi There,
As a first note: I don't have my rift yet, so I have been writing this Java wrapper for the OR blindly. I would be cool if someone with a Rift and interest in Java could test it out:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8241387/OVR/JRift_alpha.zip

It is compiled for a 32-bit Java Runtime. And you can just call the contained JRift.bat to make it start a loop to read from the Rift sensors:

OculusRift or = new OculusRift();
or.init();

HMDInfo hmdInfo = or.getHMDInfo();
System.out.println(hmdInfo);

while (or.isInitialized()) {
	or.poll();
	
	System.out.println("Yaw: " + or.getYaw() + " Pitch: " + or.getPitch() + " Roll: " + or.getRoll());
	
	try {
		Thread.sleep(100);
	} catch (InterruptedException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
}

or.destroy();


Any comment is welcome.

Cheers,
Daniel

    Thanks for your efforts. I'm going to need this too as soon as I get my dev kit.

    Nice now this will pave the way for making Minecraft work with the Rift! wow thatd be awesome if by the time i get the Rift someone would have it working :-D wheee! Minecraft really is one of my favorite games as how open and creative it can be and how fun it is just exploring other servers online :-).

    Sweet, so this is a JNI bridge to the oculus SDK source?

    Would be nice if this had the source with it :roll:

    You are right. Might even be easier to get it working if you have the sources.

    Thanks for delivering! It appears you have forgotten a license. I hope you consider a BSD style one. :)

    Really sweet stuff!

    I've begun using some of your things to implement Rift support for jMonkeyEngine.

    Cheers,

    As i did not get any feedback before and now my rift arrived, I was able to test what I have been coding. So, the head tracking data is actually returned correctly; as well as the HDMInfo. So, if you want to tinker with the Rift in Java (e.g. LWJGL or JMonkey): let me know if works for you as well.

    I would have loved to test it out, but i will have to wait until my 49xxx order arrives :P
    In the end, i went about and created my own JNI. A great learning experience, both for c++ and the oculus sdk.

    I'll probably lay low for a bit since it'll take quite some time before i can do some testing anyway.
