Rift Platform

Rift Core 2.0 Exits Beta. Rift's Core 2.0 software is exiting beta, and starting to roll out to users today. The new Rift platform includes Home, a customizable space to share with friends, and Dash, a new UI that brings your VR apps and PC displays with you across VR. More personalized and powerful, Rift's updated platform also offers new developer tools and social features to more easily connect users with games and each other :

• Expressive Oculus Avatars : Oculus Avatars form the backbone of social presence in Home and across the platform. In today's keynote, we showcased new Expressive Avatars, which feature simulated eye and mouth movement and subtle micro-expressions. The end result is a blend of behavioral science and animation that lets you feel like you're really there with others. Expressive Avatars will be available to all developers via the Avatar SDK later this year.
• Custom Developer Items : Items from your favorite games and apps are coming to Home ! Later this year, developers will be able to create Custom Developer Items, like animated objects, sculptures, trophies, and avatar clothing. Display these new items proudly and share them with friends. The Custom Developer Item pipeline will open to all developers later this Fall.

Oculus Mobile App Now with Rift Support

Starting today, Rift users can use the Oculus mobile app to discover events, connect with friends, browse the Store, and remote install new games directly to your PC. The Oculus mobile app is available on iOS and Android.

Hybrid Apps

An entirely new way to bring 2D experiences into VR, hybrid apps allow desktop software developers to add a VR mode to enhance productivity in existing workflows without the need for a native VR app or a full software rewrite. Currently being explored with limited partners.
