When it comes to oculus app content, we’re all familiar with the Oculus storefront and its strict curation. This is what ensures that the quality of experiences and games high and prevents low-quality apps from falling through the gaps. However, this also makes it difficult for independent developers to make their VR content on the Oculus platform.
Oculus launched “App Lab” as a solution to this issue. It allows independent developers to publish their VR content in an official location without needing to go through the rigorous curation of the Oculus Storefront. The App Lab is very similar to the Oculus storefront. You can browse and download apps the same like you would with the traditional virtual storefront. But, it’s less controlled.
If your app performs well in the App Lab it may be promoted to the Oculus Storefront, where it will gain more visibility and reach a larger audience. However it’s not based solely on download numbers, but also on factors such as retention metrics along with long-term profitability, development team, etc.
If you’re looking to explore the entire range of Oculus Quest apps, we suggest you turn on developer mode www.renderingwithstyle.com/2021/12/29/oculus-rift-review/ on your Meta headset and try out App Lab. There are plenty of exciting games and experiences that can be found, including the most popular non-games such as Tilt Brush, which turns your headset into a virtual art studio. Quill Theater is a cool VR media app that showcases amazing animations and films made by the community.
