Draft:Oculus App for PC
The term Oculus App could refer to different applications developed by Oculus, a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.), in relation to their virtual reality (VR) products. Here are the main Oculus apps:
- Oculus Quest App: This app is designed to be installed on your Android or iOS device and acts as a companion app for the Oculus Quest VR headset. It allows you to set up and configure your Oculus Quest, browse the Oculus Store for VR games and applications, manage your VR library, and interact with friends using Oculus social features.
- Oculus Rift App: The Oculus Rift app serves a similar purpose to the Oculus Quest app but is intended for use with the Oculus Rift series of VR headsets. It provides setup, store access, and social features for Oculus Rift devices.
- Oculus Go App: The Oculus Go app was used for the Oculus Go VR headset, a standalone VR device that did not require a PC or smartphone to function. The app allowed users to browse and purchase content for their Oculus Go headset.
- Oculus PC App (Oculus Desktop App): This is a software application for your PC that works in conjunction with compatible Oculus VR headsets, such as Oculus Rift and Oculus Rift S. It is used for installing and launching VR content from your computer, managing settings, and accessing the Oculus Store for PC VR games and experiences.
- Oculus Browser: This is a built-in web browser available on Oculus VR headsets. It allows users to browse the internet and access web-based VR content and experiences directly from within the VR environment.
To use your Meta Quest Link cable, Meta Quest Air Link, Oculus Rift S or Oculus Rift, you'll need to download the Oculus Desktop app on your Windows PC. Before you install the Oculus App, check to make sure that your hard drive has at least 9.29GB of free disk space.
