Sweet! They answered my question about VR input! It sounds like it's currently one of Oculus' top priorities! Some tidbits off the top of my head:
They will have an announcement in the next few weeks to address the no longer selling DK1s. It's worth noting that they said it isn't worth trying to get DK1 working again with refurbished parts or slightly different tech. They also said they have an idea of a date for DK2. Take that for what you will (speculation: DK2 announcement incoming?).
After positional tracking and low persistence, they think VR input is the next big hurdle and are actively working on it. They didn't mention any other third-party solutions, so it sounds like this is a current big focus!
They seemed really, really interested in a virtual retina display solution and think it is the future of VR, but noted that the tech is probably a few years away.
They had a chat with Telltale earlier in the day and is one of the top things they'd love to see in VR (Walking Dead, etc.)
I'm going to have to watch a recording, because there were a lot of subtle looks and pauses that could be read into! Worth seeing!
