Facebook’s Oculus TV Is a Half-Baked Smart TV App for VR
Facebook released a new app for its Oculus Go virtual reality (VR) headset Monday: Oculus TV is meant to be a one-stop-shop for watching streaming video content in VR. However, during a test over the past few days, it became clear that Oculus TV is still very much a work in progress.When Facebook’s VP of virtual reality (VR) Hugo Barra first announced Oculus TV in early May, he likened it to a smart TV, but for your VR headset. “It works just like the best smart TVs out there,” Barra promised, adding that the app would launch later that month on the Oculus Go headset.
