Introducing Oculus Start

Oculus VRBlog Hero Image
Today, we're launching a developer program called Oculus Start aimed at providing access, support and savings to qualifying VR developers. We're launching this program to offload some of the development costs of qualified developers so that they can focus on what's really important - creating amazing VR applications. We know there is no shortage of inspired ideas and creative minds breaking ground in VR. Creativity isn't the barrier. Resources shouldn't be either. If your first app is underway, we can help you optimize for more success in this project and your next. Just as we're scaling VR through our devices, we're scaling support to the developer ecosystem.
We're accepting applications starting today!
To see if you qualify, fill in the appropriate info in the application form. Once submitted, we'll review your submission and we'll get back to you shortly.
There are no fees or catches (but, be sure to check out the important info and link to governing terms. We simply want to help support developers on their VR journey and continue to build the VR future together.
