Right headset for development

Hi all,

I have been thinking of doing some PC app development for the rift and I have a question  for which I do not seem to find a straight answer online. As I want to do actual development, is it the DK2 version of the kit that is required, or do either of the CV versions get the job done as well. My confusion stems from the acronyms for these two versions and if they really have any effect in developing an application using them?

Thanks!

The CV can be used for development - there's only one CV version that I'm aware of? The DK2 can be used but may only be supported by Oculus until the end of the year.

You can also do development with the consumer Rift. Don't bother with DK2.
