Developing Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Connectivity for 3D Content Creation Packages\n \n FOLSOM, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 19, 2014) -  Dalton Industries Inc. (OTC Pink: DALT) (PINKSHEETS: DALT) (http://daltonindustries.us) has announced today that it has begun development of a new plug-in for LightWave3D (http://www.lightwave3d.com) for use with the Oculus Rift (http://www.oculusvr.com/) Virtual Reality Head Mounted Display.

They will, along with actors and directors, be able to see things from their perspectives for the first time. By implementing this technology directly in the content creation package we are helping to save artists and studios time by removing the currently necessary step of exporting objects and scenes to a game engine such as Unity3D and Unreal UDK before being seen in VR with the Oculus Rift.\"\n The company expects to make versions of the plug-in available to advanced beta testers by late summer 2014 and a fully production-ready retail edition shortly thereafter. It will be sold through Liberty3d.com (http://www.liberty3d.com), complete with video-based tra...
