Many have asked if Guided Meditation VR would be coming to mobile VR. Good news, we're already there!
Download for Gear VR
Very soon we'll be releasing our first content wave for the Gear VR. Our mission is to provide as seamless as possible of an experience between desktop and mobile VR.

When we first touched the Oculus DK1 we realized we were uniquely suited to help bring relaxing VR experiences to life. It has been a great joy to work with you to build the best app we can together. We're grateful to both the community and to press for the remarkable, encouraging support each day.
Special thanks to everyone in our forums who has shared their ideas for new spaces and features. We promise to do our best to listen, discuss, and when possible integrate the best bits into future updates.
