Unity 5.1 Sensor Data

1. Can someone point me to documentation on the correct way to poll sensor data using the native Unity support in 5.1?

2. I previously used a dedicated thread for sensor polling - will this break with native as Unity doesn't usually like other threads to call it's API?

3. Also, is the sensor data available at the same fidelity? (i.e. 1000Hz, though I was mostly only able to poll 500Hz in practice).

Thanks

    This was the first place I checked:
    http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference ... cking.html

    I need the actual raw sensor data (accelerometer in this case to be specific) so that doesn't help. I also see this:

    http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference ... vePtr.html

    However, there is no documentation on how to actually cast the IntPtr to an Oculus data structure / function and use it. Any guidance you could give here would be appreciated. I pretty much can't upgrade until I figure out how to get the sensor data.

    Bump. I'd take an answer of "not possible right now" with an ETA, but I'd at least like an answer. Thanks!
