    Hi All,

    I wrote some educational software for DK1 using unity a few years ago. I have a report that it does not work. Should I be expecting it to work with the new Oculuses?

    Thanks,
    Lucas

    No. The retail Oculus Rift doesn't officially support running applications made for the DK1 or DK2.

    Some people have made unofficial hacks that can sometimes get DK2 (specifically Oculus SDK 0.8) applications running on the retail Rift, but that would be on your users to research and attempt on their own. I'm not sure if people have gotten DK1 (SDK 0.6) applications working on the Rift at all though.
