Bigscreen TV and Bigscreen Cinema are two innovative ways of co-watching content together with family and friends in the virtual reality environment
Bigscreen TV allows for "up to eight VR users to watch over 50 live channels together." Free content is provided through channels like NBC, Red Bull TV, Pluto Movies, and so on. Moreover, these channels are made public, with most regions offering 24/7 streaming of content. In addition, Bigscreen TV is planning to use this platform as a means to connect individuals on upcoming events like the Overwatch League Playoffs and SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch.
Bigscreen Cinema, on the other hand, charges $4 to $5 per admission. This feature presents a "VR-enabled full cinema experience" for friends and family. 3D and 2D screenings of popular movies will be available to users via strategic partnerships with various movie studios.
