Rift Core 2.0 is coming with new Dash and improved Home for Oculus devices

Oculus announced during its Oculus Connect 4 event today that Rift Core 2.0, the new built-in software user-interface programs for the company’s virtual reality hardware, will go into beta in December as a free update.

Rift Core 2.0 includes a revamped Home and Dash. Home is now a customizable 3D space that you can decorate (which is giving me flashbacks to the ill-fated PlayStation Home). It makes your Home experience more, well, homey. You can even launch apps by inserting cartridges into a retro-style game console.
