I've done immersive telepresence before with the rift. I would not recommend it for competition,maybe once the Fms isnt as restrictive with bandwidth,but otherwise, getting a decent 3d view with the rift and 2 cameras. (I had em set up on a pan tilt.) takes a solid 28 or so mbps.

I would also not recommend the cameras on the rift. You're not going to have a fun time trying to make anything out through a grainy image and the screen door effect.

Furthermore, you need a very wide angle camera to get the right aspect ratio, otherwise it's like looking thru a tunnel.

Fantastic off season project for when you've got a clean line with lots of free bandwidth, but not fun when you throttle it down to 7mbps. (remember latency grows a lot when you get close to 7 too with TCP.)

There's just too much data throughput necessary to get anything useful over it.

My $0.02 of experience with the rift. Probably legal, but not at all practical.
