There's nothing definitive, and it's only kind of an afterthought at the end of the article, but it's a good sign that all these different companies are experimenting heavily with the technology! Here's the good stuff:

And here's an exciting thought - you may one day be able to play Planetside 2 with the virtual reality headset Oculus Rift. Higby said the development team has added compatibility for the eye-catching device, but right now, with the consumer version of OC without a release window, this functionality may not come to market.

"We have it implemented at work and we've used it - it's actually pretty amazing to be flying around a big-ass battle in Planetside and looking around like this in your cockpit," Higby said.

"So I mean, we've got it, and it works. It needs a lot of tweaks, you have to change a lot of things about the way your UI works, and right now the versions that we have are running at pretty low resolutions, so it's hard for us to figure out what we need to do to optimise for the final hardware that comes out."
