Designing for multiple VR headgear

Development Platform & Builds XR Development

Hi guys!

Question for the pros! I want to start developing experiences in VR for my clients but I don’t want to have to buy all headgear on the market!

I was looking at the OSVR and it looks very promising, especially for the price and it’s modular design.

Let’s say my client has an Oculus but I want to develop with the OSVR… Can I tune the OSVR to match what my client would see on his rift and build my game accordingly?
Taken from OSVR website : OSVR is an open-source software platform for VR and AR. It allows discovery, configuration and operation of hundreds of VR/AR devices and peripherals.

It looks to me that an OSVR could act as a Rift, or a Vive for example with the right tuning.

Just want to be sure as I’m a vr noob right now. Thanks guys.

It’s for architecture, not really for game. I may have a client with a Rift and another with a Vive. I’ll most likely build each project for 1 type of device. I just don’t want to buy all devices so I can work for every potential customer.

At the moment it is still early days and there are various issues and kinks with the different hmd’s.
I personally wouldn’t want to do a commercial job for a client without having tested it on the actual hardware he/she is going to run it on.
