What VR device I should buy?

Hi there,
I'm thinking about buying a VR-Headset for development.

So I've got some questions about it:

- is the Rift "enough" for VR development?
- if I buy a Rift can I build my games for Hive too or does I've to buy both in this case?
- is it a good point to jump on the VR train or should I wait for the next gen of VR?
- is something like the Samsung Gear VR usefull/needed for (complete) VR development?


Thank you

 

Desktop and mobile VR are two different things. You can get Oculus Rift for free if you have a decent project to show them. It's possible to make a Vive game with Rift but hard the other way around since Vive controllers are more limited.

 

Oh ok, good to know. I thought the Hive-System is much better O_O

So the Rift would be the better way?

Ok, to get the Rift free I've the project already done and can port it for the Rift? If I want to start building something new, I would have to buy it by myself?

Can you tell me where I can applicate for the free Rift?

 

Vive has better tracking. Oculus more features.
