Sound creepy? I hopped around a virtual arena and sat with other avatars during a VR broadcast of a basketball game last week for an hour, and I didn't hate it. > Oculus Venues is the next step for what Facebook hopes will convince more people to experience VR together. It launches Wednesday, after being announced at the Oculus Go debut. On the surface, it's a way to livestream VR concerts and sports and comedy shows, similar to apps NextVR and Within.
