Byron Mallett has elevated the user experience for Ableton and the Oculus Rift headset by hacking into the controls and programming to the software, and added functionality to provide a virtual reality experience for users.

Ableton found Mallett in New Zealand and interviewed him on his latest developments.

“When I finally received my DK1 Rift in July 2013, I quickly started trying to hack it into one of my favorite games, which was a good starting point for figuring out how VR worked.” – Byron Mallett

The hardware with the Oculus Rift has opened up a large amount of possibilities for virtual reality.
