I am a former game developer that has been enthralled with KSP for quite some time. I currently have access to both Hololens and Oculus CV1. I would be happy to dedicate some of my time to figure out support for AR/VR in KSP if the developers would like me to help.
I completely disagree the VR is just eye candy and irrelevant for the majority of users. Irrelevant for now as the devices are still priced high but it will only take a short amount of time for them to drop in price. Additionally if you haven't seen the Orion demo from Leap Motion, you need to really take a look. This will get you thinking about how you can integrate some amazing functionality with VR into Kerbal that is well beyond eye-candy. The Orion software for Leap Motion is already out and mounts for Leap Motion for Vive and Rift will be shipping on May 31st.
KSP devs, PM me if you would like to explore an AR/VR version of KSP.
