Overview

The Oculus Platform provides support for:

Social and Community - Foster active communities and encourage meaningful interactions in your app. Bring users around the globe together for shared social experiences.
Engagement - Engaged users return more frequently and spend more time in VR. Incentivize users to return, interact, and invest in your application.
Revenue - Maximize the return on your application by offering the right items and experiences at the right time in VR.
Security - Protect your application and users with the robust security of the Oculus Platform authentication.
