There are apps to hang out with friends, watch movies and TV shows, and so much more. We have compiled a list of some of the best free apps to download on the Oculus Quest 2. Check them out below!
Bigscreen
Bigscreen brings 3D to VR and lets you watch movies or play your favorite PC games on the big screen. You can even see your PC’s desktop on the virtual screen with this app and stream from it. If you want to watch movies with friends, you can invite them to hang out in VR chat rooms and enjoy the show together. The developers of Bigscreen even host 3D movie nights of their own if you want to hang out with the folks who made the app!
Google Earth VR
Traveling the world is on many folks’ bucket lists, but actually doing it takes time and money. So the next best thing is to check out Google Earth VR. With this app, you can drop into various places worldwide and look as if you were there in person. Google Earth VR lets you fly over a city, stand on mountain tops, walk through streets all over the world, and more. Explore up to 196.9 million square miles with this app and go places you have never been before.
Medium
VR takes art to a new level, and Medium by Adobe emphasizes that. With this app, you can create 3D art. Start as a beginner and work your way to professional through sculpting, modeling, and more. Once you have created your piece of art, you can export it in various ways. These include as an OBJ file, 3D printing, and even implementing it in your game. Medium lets you create cool art and show it off to your friends with ease! Or don’t share it if it needs more work.
Spider-Man Homecoming/Far From Home Virtual Reality Experience
These free apps put you in the role of Spider-Man and let you be one of the most popular superheroes ever created. With new tech from Stark Industries, you can shoot webs and swing from buildings like Spider-Man himself. Spider-Man Homecoming Virtual Reality Experience lets you enjoy the thrills of this superhero and experience Spider-Man like never before. It really is a thrill like no other.
YouTube VR
YouTube is app that needs no introduction. With virtual reality, you can view videos as if you were actually there, especially with 360 cameras. These videos on YouTube not only put you in the video, but also allow you to look around using the VR headset by moving your head. This is an awesome feature that any VR user should check out. Non-360 videos look great, too, and give you that movie-theater feel without you having to leave the house.
