Oculus App Content – A New Place For Independent Developers

We’re all familiar with the process when it is about the Oculus Storefront and its rigorous curation. This is the way we ensure the quality of apps and games high, and prevent low-quality ones from slipping through. However, this also makes it difficult for independent developers to release their VR content on the Oculus platform.

Oculus created the “App Lab” as a solution to this issue. oculus rift game design It allows independent developers to publish their VR content in a regulated location without needing to undergo the rigorous selection process of the Oculus Storefront. The App Lab is similar to the normal Oculus storefront in that you can browse and download apps the same way you would on a traditional storefront but it’s not carefully curated.

If your app does well in the App Lab in the App Lab, it may be promoted to the official Oculus storefront, where it’ll receive more exposure and more attention. This isn’t just based on numbers of downloads, but also retention metrics, long-term profitability, the development teams and so on.

App Lab is a fantastic way to experience the full spectrum of Oculus Quest applications. There are tons of enjoyable games and experiences, including well-known nongames like Tilt Brush which turns your headset into a virtual art studio. There are many cool VR media apps like Quill Theater, which showcases incredible community-created movies and animations in 6DoF.
