We had actually baked in support for NaturalPoint's TrackIR product back in the early development of Rise but the support was never carried over to game client 2.0 as we had no active players (that we knew about at least) that used head tracking.

The other day I was talking to a player and he mentioned head tracker support. Literally within 48 hours we had released support for head trackers on Steam. And it is a step in the right direction for our VR initiative!

The user in question is using OpenTrack which is a free software that you can use to configure and "shape" your existing head tracker, VR headset, or FaceTrackNoIR.

If you don't have a head tracker peripheral but would like to use one in Rise:

TrackIR 5 (highly recommend)
DELANCLiP Gamer (currently on sale)
TrackHat

Demo Limits which are now enforced server-side! But the good news is that Rise is on sale for 25% off during the Steam Summer Sale until July 9.

• Demo players may not create an alliance.
  
• Demo players may not customize their vehicles (trim color, hull registry, vanity plates).
  
• Demo players are not allowed to buy plots of land (and therefore cannot construct colonies).
  
• Demo players can not earn interest at the bank.
  
• Demo players may not trade commodity futures.
  
• Demo players may not accept (or eventually post) contracts on the portal.
  

We just rolled out version 2.2.16! The hope was that we would get the parallax effect for the city streets in but it still isn't finished. However, we do have a bunch of improvements!
