https://ift.tt/2w4Z5rh

Oculus Venues, the social app that allows ‘thousands of users’ to watch live events en masse in VR, is now available on Oculus Go and Gear VR starting today. The company has also published a full list of upcoming live events (below).

Announced last year at Oculus Connect 4, Venues lets you connect with friends and thousands of other VR users to watch live events like concerts, sporting events, stand-up comedy, movies, and more.

Many of the live events are captured specifically for VR headsets by NextVR, including stand-up comedy from the Gotham Comedy Club, live concerts from bands via School Night, content from the NBA and MLB, and the International Champions Cup pre-season friendly soccer matches.

Concerts by Vance Joy, Chromeo, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, and Everclear are hitting Venues all throughout the summer. Other events hitting Venues later this summer include films screenings from Lionsgate Films, featuring Reservoir Dogs (1992), Sinister (2012)Apocalypse Now (1979), and National Lampoon’s Van Wilder (2002).

Most Gear VR-compatible smartphones work with Venues, excluding Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Oculus’ Code of Conduct is also in full force, with community moderators on-hand in Venues.

You can download Oculus Venues here for Gear VR and and Oculus Go.

Oculus says they’ll be highlighting Venues events in Oculus Go and Gear VR’s ‘Explore’ section where you can subscribe to upcoming events and launch them from there.
