color:#1F497D'>I didn't get the original post for some reason, but I'm glad
this was reposted, as I am also very interested in how these technologies with
work together. It is expected that there is going to be a huge push for Occulus
on Facebook during the next 5 years, and we all know what that means. I can say
(for good reasons) that X3D could have been the chosen format (and I think it
came close), but it would appear that a last minute decision was made in favor
of Occulus hardware. Nevertheless, any relevant links or information on how
that will work with X3D would be welcome.. Thank you, Lauren<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I've been looking at that myself - oculus rift, htc- and it seems a bit fiddly
to configure the code -you render to fbo buffers instead of screen backbuffer,
then hand those buffers to the hmd api for a second stage of rendering. And the
hmd acts as a 6dof input device. Popup menus should freeze in 3d space and -
unlike a mouse - the center of the viewport is cursor/pickray. But
nothing theoretically impossible and all the x3d content would stay the same. <br>
