Earlier this year Oculus revealed a new way to enjoy live events such as sports games and concerts within virtual reality (VR) with Oculus Venues, an app for Oculus Go and Samsung Gear VR which let users get the best seat in the house for a number of live events. Now Oculus have announced the line-up of what fans can expect in the forthcoming Autumn 2018 line-up.
The full list of upcoming Oculus Venues events is listed in the Oculus companion app, which will let users see what is coming up and subscribe to attend. The schedule is of course also available in the Oculus Venues app for both Oculus Go and Samsung Gear VR.
Every user who attends an NBA Game in Venues will be able to unlock an NBA jersey from one of the teams in the game they watched. This will be available to add to your Oculus Avatar for the rest of the season.
