GUI when using HMD Oculus

[fabioped]

Hi!

How can I show rectangles and 2D text when using the oculus rift hmd support?

I need to show my own 2D GUI created using quads/text over ORTHO layer.

Use <hmd>.getHUD() to get the root HUD node of the Oculus and then add your objects to that.

That means I'm adding objects to world-space and not ortho/screen layers right? It would be quite harder to get their positioning right on window X/Y.

Yes, the HUD node is added in world coordinates. You can place objects at a distance comfortable for viewing and then move vertically/horizontally as needed.
