I agree that it would be awesome, but would be impossible to do without access to the source code. Condor is not open-source like XCSoar. While it was state-of-the-art 13 years ago, and it is still a very nice program, it has not kept up with advances in computer graphics.
Given the connection between Condor and recruiting young people to soar, the current locked up dead-in-the-water is extremely unfortunate. It would be a big boost for soaring if a not-for-profit bought the Condor source code for a good price and made it open source. The world of programmer who love to fly would jump in and make it a much much better program with Oculus Rift support and a host of improvements. I think that wearing cool baseball caps will also help to get young people interested in soaring, but opening up Condor would be a huge boost.
Here is some background from the Condor Forums:

"The Oculus Rift requires directx = 11.0 (which was released on October 22, 2009 with Windows 7) or... OpenGL.
It is pretty clear that the current version of Condor which runs with directx 7 (more than 13 years old... released on February 17, 2000 with Windows 2000 back then) has no chance to support the Oculus Rift. (it doesn't support nvidia active 3Dvision stereo either which was released 5 years ago.)
Making Condor directx = 12.x compatible would no only enable the use of such new technologies but also benefits everybody due to the improvements that were introduced in the last 13 years by the 3D community (nvidia, ati, microsoft, ...)
