The DRIVE-IN THEATER has been one of the most frequently requested features. It will now be available for both Quest and PC VR users.
The social VR app has also updated its user interface with a major menu makeover. Users can now see an overview of everything that they can do in Bigscreen. These include the following: –
- Windows Desktop: Access your desktop in VR.
- Video Player: Plays the video files on your computer or Oculus Quest locally or via DLNA.
- Movies: Lends 3D movies and also takes you to the virtual cinema screenings
- TV Channels: You can watch livestreams from platforms like Twitch and YouTube.
- Public Rooms: You can meet people from different origins in virtual environments
- Private Rooms: Hang out with your friends in virtual environments
Previously, Bigscreen supported up to 8 users per lobby but with its new beefy servers, it can now support up to 12 users per lobby. In 2021, Bigscreen is also planning to increase the room size limits for the user-created rooms. That means users will be able to create much larger rooms for meetups or conferences that could support anywhere from 25 to 50 users!
