Go to Movie Theaters with people from across the world in VR

Quote :

Oculus Cinema is a first-party VR application that recreates the experience of having your own personal cinema or leather chair adorned home theater. And while it’s great to feel like you’re sitting in front of a massive screen, what fun is it alone? Oculus understands that movie-going is not a solo activity and says that they’re building online multiplayer and social features into the app.

"That’s definitely the point of Oculus Cinema. It’s not that you want to replicate the experience of being in a movie theater alone, you want to replicate the experience of being in a movie theater or home theater with all of your friends,” Luckey said.

"So we already have a lot of internal social functions in Cinema that are going to be rolling out in the next few months. Things like avatar systems, being able to communicate with people over long distances [I.E: Watching the same movie at the same time from across the world in the same theater]… rather than just local multiplayer, but having actual long distant multiplayer as well.”

Could be pretty cool, to be honest. I'd be delighted to wach classics (Or even films in the VR Theater that I haven't seen in a theater before.)

Wow! That's so fucking cool! O.o

IKR? Imagine watching the original Star Wars trilogy in movie theaters with everyone on G7.

@RamboOnRedBull Oh my. This is making me want to look up VR now.

Here's the still-in-progress concept version in shitty quality:

BTW, it's been confirmed that the consumer version allows anyone to watch any film in IMAX, 3D, or 2D. For FREE!

We’ll also be pairing this with the ability to resize the screen to any arbitrarily size, which I think people will be excited about [Rezise the Movie Theater screen to as big as you want (More than real-life) or as small as you want (like your Iphone screen)

 You can get that huge-screen experience without the neck pain.
