    VR has been big at CES this week...really really big, with lots of announcements and cool VR demos.

    Intel is on the VR band wagon and promises to deliver standalone VR by the end of this year: http://www.networkworld.com/article...oming-by-the-end-of-this-year.html#tk.twt_nww

    But there was also a HTC media release this week, that was hasty withdrawn, about an Intel partnership to develop a wireless Vive adapter, so it is hard to say what to make of that.

    You can bet they mostly have their own SDKs.

    So Oculus, SteamVR, OPSVR, Microsoft Hololens, and possibly Intel, though the latter may use SteamVR as there was the revoked partnership media release earlier this week.

    At the moment SteamVR is the unifying interface for most of the existing SDKs.
