Virtual reality company Oculus is revamping its Oculus Share marketplace this fall. At its developer conference the company announced that it is going to launch the “Oculus Platform” for developers later this fall. Developers will be able to sell their virtual reality experiences and apps through the Oculus Platform which will initially debut on the Samsung Gear VR, a virtual reality headset that Samsung has developed in collaboration with Oculus.
The company also revealed plans to make Oculus Platform available across different platforms and devices like its Rift headset, and across popular browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer as well as major platforms like Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
It would certainly be one of the first methods for developers who want to sell their entertainment experiences, games and applications for virtual reality headsets. The announcement for Oculus Platform was made after company CEO Brendan Iribe unveiled the Crescent Bay prototype which is the successor to Crystal Cove, shown back at CES 2014.
Samsung Gear VR, built in collaboration with Oculus, is the Korean juggernaut’s first virtual reality headset that requires a Galaxy Note 4 to function. The headset is going to be released later this fall as well for $199, obviously excluding a Galaxy Note 4 unit, which has to be bought separately.
