Dolphin VR and the HTC Vive - bomblord - 09-19-2015
Will Dolphin VR support the HTC Vive. I read the VR article dolphin put up a while back and remember them saying they will/cannot support the Occulus's default VR software because of licensing issues and were going for an open source solution instead.
Will the HTC Vive be included in this? I am considering trying Dolphin VR once these headsets are released to the public and I don't want to get one that Dolphin doesn't support.

OSVR doesn't support the HTC Vive yet, but the entire goal of OSVR is to support as many headsets as possible. So HTC Vive will very likely be supported through OSVR when the consumer version is released. There's also the possibility that Valve will release the source code to the OpenVR API, if they do that then we can support OpenVR as a separate VR backend.
Just get whichever headset you prefer, one way or the other Dolphin will support it.
