This is when major product announcements, both hardware and software, are generally made.
If you don’t have time to watch don’t worry- we’ll be bringing you all the VR & AR news from the event.
Live Immersive Video (Oculus Go / Gear VR)
If you own an Oculus Go or Samsung Gear VR, you can watch a live 180 degree video broadcast of the conference. It will be available through the Oculus Venues app.
Note that you need an active Facebook account to use Venues.
Like with other Venues events, you should be able to see and talk to other Go / Gear VR users in a virtual audience if you want.
Unfortunately Venues isn’t available on the Oculus Rift, or any PC VR headset.
