Easy ? NOT ...It can be tricky getting Unity and the Rift to work together the first time. Below are the steps that worked for me.

Step 1. Downloads you’ll need:Download / Upgrade to Unity 4.6.2
http://unity3d.com/unity/download
Download the Oculus Runtime y Oculus SDKhttps://developer.oculus.com/downloads/
Oculus Unity SDK documentation: 1.1 Requirements
You must have Unity Pro 4.5 or later installed on your system to build the Unity demo.
Much of these instructions can be found within the Oculus Unity Integration Guide (part of the Oculus Unity SDK download).
Step 2. Install the Oculus Runtime:
After installation, it will ask you to reboot (presumably
this is for the new Direct HMD driver). Do that.
Then run it START – Oculus Runtime –
OculusConfigTool
Note: If a firmware update is available you should
install that now.
Note 2: If you want to set your height in a profile
you can do that now also.
Test correctly installed
When the HDMI and USB are plugged in we can see the
information of the Oculus. The device does not need to
be powered on.
Add new User with your preferences. Turn on the device
and click on Show Demo Scene.
If you can see a scene with a desk and while turning your
head you can see different parts of the office, the
Oculus is working perfectly.
Step 3. Configurethe Oculus Runtime:
To work within the Unity Editor
you have to use Extended
Desktop (not Direct HMD
Access):Tools – Rift Display
Mode…
Step 4: Check the Rift resolution is correct:Now your Rift will appear as a normal
monitor to Windows and you can duplicated
or extend your windows desktop.
For me, that also meant the Windows
guessed the incorrect resolution. So open
Screen Resolution, and set it to 1280×800
(DK1) or 1920×1080 (DK2):
Step 5: Installing the Oculus Unity SDK:Unzip the SDK ovr_unity_0.4.4_lib.zip
I recommend copying both Unity packages to your Unity Standard Packages folder, that way they will
both appear in the New Project Wizard.
Copy OculusUnityIntegration.unitypackage and
OculusUnityIntegrationTuscanyDemo.unitypackage to the Standard Packages folder which is in
your Unity Editor folder.
Typically here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Unity\Editor\Standard Packages
Note: If you don’t see it, make sure the folder is correct, view the properties on your Unity shortcut
and verify the folder path.
Step 6: Creating the Tuscany Demo:Launch Unity, and name your project (eg: Hello Tuscany) and checkmark the Oculus Tuscany Demo package.
After clicking on Create you will see something like this...
Step 7: Disable Direct3d 11:You need to make sure Direct3d 11 is disabled, otherwise you will see a black screen.
Oculus Unity SDK documentation: 4.4.3 Editor WorkIf you plan to run your application in the Unity editor, you must use
extended mode. A black screen will appear if you run it in direct mode.
Make sure “Use Direct3d 11″ is unchecked:Edit – Project Settings – Player Settings
Also make sure Time Warp is check marked in the OVRCameraController (a child of the OVRPlayerController)
Step 8: Setup a Game view on your Rift screen:
- Make sure your Rift is powered on and looking through it you see the desktop
- Drag the Game view tab OUTSIDE of Unity, but NOT onto the Rift display
(Optionally make resize is smaller if you prefer)
- Position your mouse just to the left of the maximise button (to the left of the close
button).
- Tap down (to drag), Hold your Rift to your eyes, and drag the game view onto your
Rift until you see the mouse pointer.
- Release the drag, move the mouse to tap on maximise and your set.
Only use “Free Aspect” with the Game View. Setting 16×10 (DK1) or 16×9 (DK2)
Finally, Exit Unity to double check the window position was saved for next time
Step 9: Play Tuscany:Re-open Unity, press PLAY button and put on your Rift. That’s it.
Enjoy Tuscany! And enjoy being able to see the Game view in the editor as well:
