	Engine Programmer [[StarCitizen:Silvan Hau]] said that implementing VR into the rendering itself isn't a big deal, but having support from the game itself in terms of gameplay is, namely tying it into the animation system and what locomotion the game offer. There are lots of unknown questions which need to be solved and require a collaboration from various teams. He expects VR to be implemented in stages, e.g. for a first step just being able to view ships in the hangar or using it in a cockpit.
