VR for Linux

Anyone know of a linux supported vr setup?

I have seen a few hdmi driven devices that are basically head mounted monitors that I suspect are fairly universal but nothing that approaches the occulus rift.

It's only a dev-kit, but OSVR HDK2 is not too far behind the Rift. No VO support, though. Maybe someday.

Oh, there is something that is better than oculus rift: HTC Vive.

It's likely that HTC Vive will get get linux support before oculus rift.

Nothing matters if the devs never implement the software side of it...
