Possible to import RO2 levels into a VR walk-around map?

Seeing that video where they edit in VR made me wonder if you could make a simple Unreal Engine 3 "game" to go sight seeing in an RO2 level? Using either Oculus Rift of HTC Vive?

There's an Oculus VR plug-ins for Unreal Engine 3.

From a logistical view, better off creating a mod that implements VR (sterioscopic player cameras) for RO2/RS than what you suggest. While you're at it, please add 3D VOIP.

Then how would I be able to enjoy viewing the sights of WWII Stalingrad while under enemy fire?

Also, I have no idea how to do any of that.


Here's that video I mentioned.

You could make some 3D post cards from Stalingrad by taking screenshots (HUD off) in pairs a few inches apart from eachother with a shared fixed centerpoint of reference. I did this back in 2000 in some Unreal1 levels and it was scarey. (we still called maps "levels" back then).

Adding a second parallel camera to the spectator camera might not be too difficult, if you get a coder good at that stuff. That way you could fly around in 3D VR during combat.

EDIT: BTW, VR for Unreal has been around for over a decade (UE2.5). Epic has been moving to make it natively supported for all titles with UE4.
