Oculus

Oculus is the virtual-reality company founded in 2012 that Kickstarter-launched the Rift headset and was backed by Spark Capital, Matrix Partners and others before Facebook acquired it in 2014 for roughly two billion dollars. The Oculus consumer brand has since been folded into Meta Quest, and the Oculus developer platform now lives as the Meta Horizon developer program at developers.meta.com/horizon. It offers the Oculus/Meta Platform SDK, the Meta Spatial SDK, OpenXR-native, Unity and Unreal engine integrations, and Immersive Web tooling for building mixed- and virtual-reality apps for Horizon OS and the Horizon Store. The oculus.com domain now redirects to Meta Quest, and developer.oculus.com redirects to the Meta Horizon developer portal.

Oculus is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, and Gaming.

Oculus’ developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, and 7 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/oculus: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
