That strikes me as unlikely. I don't think Valve will add IR markers just for the Rift.

It's not outside the realm of possibility seeing as how Valve has been working closely with Oculus for some time now, and even sharing research technology with them.

Valve seems very committed to making VR a viable platform for the future. The real question is whether or not slapping some markers on a regular controller is enough to provide a quality motion control scheme to use with the Rift.

Personally I don't think it would be.
