Facebook is introducing third-party 2D apps to the Oculus Quest VR platform. Based on the Progressive Web Apps framework, the new rollout will start with Facebook, Instagram, Smartsheet, and Spike, with apps like Dropbox, Monday.com, and Slack coming later.
Facebook s Oculus investigating Apple Health app integration Code discovered in Facebook s Oculus app reveals the company is investigating an Apple Health app integration that would allow users to save workout data generated by Oculus Move.
Discovered by developer Steve Moser, the code suggests Facebook is experimenting with a feature that would synchronize Oculus Move data to the Health app,
Bloomberg reports. Users might also be able to view information saved in the Health app on a connected Oculus VR headset, the report says.
Introduced last year, Oculus Move is a Quest and Quest 2 feature that tracks movement and calories burned across any VR game or app. The resulting data is siloed in a special dashboard located in a user s Library. Some Oculus apps can display real-time statistics in an overlay, similar to the Apple Watch and Apple TV setup in Apple Fitness+.
