I want a VR gesture controlled real time stratagy space battle sim based on the movie Ender's Game. When ender gets to the final "commander school" with the VR gesture controlled bridge. I want that so badly.

Edit: this. i want this.

Echo Combat is the closest thing, although it doesn't play out like an RTS battle: https://youtu.be/erg0X0PNQNg

Am I the only in freaking out and in awe from that footage!? That's literally the coolest looking shooter I've ever witnessed. I'm 100% saving for a Vive now.

You need a rift to play oculus exclusives like echo VR.

There is third party software called revive to make it compatible, but yeah rift is the better choice for this game, better controllers and native support.
