Oculus Connect 5 Will Livestream In VR, But Not On Rift
UploadVR | September 19, 2018
You’ll be able to watch next week’s Oculus Connect 5 in all but the most expensive of Facebook’s VR headsets.The Oculus Venues app, which launched earlier this year on Oculus Go and Gear VR, will be streaming keynote talks and eSports matches live from this year’s developer conference. Venues hasn’t yet launched on the Oculus Rift, though, so owners of the PC VR headset will have to settle for standard streaming if they don’t have a Go or Gear.Venues is a free piece of software that allows you to meet up with friends and watch certain events either on a giant virtual screen or with panoramic views. It’s already been used for sporting and musical events (and, brilliantly, it streamed the Twilight Saga last weekend), but this is the first time Oculus is livestreaming one of its own events from inside the app.
