Minimal Oculus Application Tutorial

Hey guys!

I put together this simple tutorial, showing the bare minimum code needed to work with the Oculus SDK.

https://developer.oculus.com/wiki/index.php?title=Minimal_Oculus_Application

It's basically just a console application that prints out some values from the headset. This could be a good place to start if you are confused about what is part of the SDK and what is just part of the demos. It also shows how simple it is to work with the SDK. Of course, it won't show how to handle stereo 3D, or distortion, or all the complex stuff. But it's a start.

Hope that helps,

- Andres

    This sample is super-duper old and won't work with any recent SDK.

    There's lot of good information in the docs, see here: https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/
