The first to access the catalog will be users of Samsung Gear VR video glasses, which were developed by the joint Samsung + Oculus team. Medgadgets already wrote on Habré about this device .

Users of the mentioned device will have access to applications, games and experimental programs that are downloaded to the directory on a regular basis by third-party developers.

Planned to create versions of Oculus Platformunder Rift, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. This application catalog can be one of the first where any developer can place his application / game that are related to virtual and augmented reality. Of course, developers will receive money for each sale of a copy of the application or game (unless, of course, the developer makes his product paid). Oculus can combine ecosystems of mobile and PC versions of video glasses.
