Time for the first sneak peek. Beta versions of vorpX were used by two of Germanys largest IT publications in their current Oculus Rift reviews. They didn’t complain. ;) One of those articles was published in the renowned print magazine c’t, excerpt (without the vorpX part though) here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Endlich-mittendrin-1843019.html .
