With the launch of the Innovator Edition, the Oculus VR Store is launching coinciding with the latest virtual reality device. The Oculus VR Store will be an integrated discovery and distribution system for virtual reality content. The Oculus 360 Videos is another feature where you can view otherworldly environments like a superhero’s lair or a scenic helicopter tour. Oculus Cinema allows you to watch virtually any type of video in a wholly different way. Gaming is also a great feature, giving you a completely different way to play video game classics as well as new gamed designed with virtual reality in mind.
