Oculus Home Preservation Efforts

Since the start of this year, I have been periodically combing through old install files in the Oculus client to make a collection of assets to preserve and I found the most latest Home​ 2 assets dated before it was removed from the Oculus client years back.

These assets were ripped and submitted onto The Models Resource: https://models.spriters-resource.com/pc_computer/oculushome/

The wave of assets submitted includes all of the decorations and objects*, all the sound effects, the wall, ceiling, and floor textures, and the environment cabin models. The assets are also named accurately to what the editor menu would have shown. Different versions of Home​​ 2's​ install files have been preserved on archive.org​.

Added bonus: the entire sound library was also preserved on archive.org.

This effort comes in the light of my enjoyment from using Oculus Home worlds during its lifespan. I've always liked creating my own chill zone after a VR session​ to watch content or visit some of my friend's worlds. Those were the Rift CV1 days. I have not come across any other VR experience that has such fidelity and atmosphere.
