I agree, The kinect can drive you up the walls. Especially if you are still learning the basics in unreal like me. I'm sticking to the kinect, because my target market is more likely to have access to a kinect, rather than a neuron.
My biggest problem is finding time to work on this stuff.
I only have a day or 2 between jobs, and those are always spent re-learning the shit I forgot, rather than getting into more advanced stuff.
Oh well, at least its fun.
Look forward to seeing your progress

@Gerbrand: I've been working with the Vive for 2 months now and since we received the VR Backpack, right now there's no really need for the wireless setup they released...it's impressive that they are able to sell an addon like that for that price, but I think I'll just wait for the Vive 2.0.

I've worked a bit with Kinect, but its so frustrating that I gave up after a while...nice try, but a pain to work with.

Someone on the UE4 forum is creating an IK puppet to control with the Vive controllers, which is a good alternative to have a full body mocap. In theory I could setup both Vive and Mocap suit together, so that the controllers will act as IK while the rest of the body moves following the movement from the suit itself, but right now is not priority 1 for me.

@Mirko: To be honest the "virtual walls" while using only the suit is something which I'll probably develop in short time, since its just a matter of getting the playing area, get the player location and position the walls accordingly, nothing super-complicated ;)

Anyway guys starting next year I'll go full VR, mostly related to non-gaming setups, and in short time I'll release more tech demo, showing the use of VR within working environments, so if you're interested in those solutions feel free to contact me

Cheers
