That looks really nice indeed. But after just having
a quick look at the web site, it's not clear to me
if it does require special support from the application.
As they do provide a number of SDK things, it does
look that way. There's even a closed beta version of
a C/C++ SDK but the notes I found hint that it's probably
not going to be compatible with open source applications.
So that pretty much rules it out in the near future.

If nobody helps pushing things forward, they tend to get
stale after a while. Sadly there's a number of things in
that state, but there's no other solution than someone
taking the time to discuss open issues and follow up on
them.
If someone ported OpenSCAD to Vive, I'd have an excuse to
go full face-hugger, though.
Vive SDK seems incompatible with open source too. Not
sure if the Vulkan related work regarding VR will solve
that. So far all the Vulkan stuff is very friendly to
open source applications, giving at least some hope :-).
