When it comes to Oculus app content, we’re all familiar with the Oculus storefront and its strict curation. This is how we ensure the quality of games and apps high, and prevent low-quality ones from slipping through. This makes it more difficult for independent developers to publish their VR content on Oculus.

Oculus created the “App Lab” as a method to address this issue. It lets independent developers publish their VR content in a secure 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 install apps in the same manner you would on a traditional virtual storefront however, it’s not as curated.

If your app is successful in the App Lab it could be promoted to the Oculus Storefront and will get more attention and reach a wider audience. However, this isn’t based solely on the number of downloads, but also on things like retention metrics, long-term profitability, the development team, etc.

If you’re looking to explore the full range of Oculus Quest apps, we recommend you to enable developer mode on your Meta headset and then try App Lab. There are tons of interesting games and experiences including well-known nongames like Tilt Brush which turns your headset into a virtual art studio. There are a lot of amazing VR media www.renderingwithstyle.com/oculus-rift-the-main-goal-of-the-project-with-the-help-of-glasses/ apps, like Quill Theater, which showcases the amazing community-created 6DoF animation and movie content.
