Bigscreen has just announced that they will now be offering free ad-supported films on their VR platform.
Typically, watching a film or event in Bigscreen requires purchasing a ticket to view, but this new addition will give a lot more content to the app, and in turn, bring more users to the virtual space.
Films will be offered by PlutoTV, which already provides the streaming TV content for the service. What’s new with movies is the ability to watch them on-demand in any of the environments supported.
What is alluring about Bigscreen is that it is a social VR platform that allows users to share, experience, and have fun together. Their creative platform can be used as a tool for work collaboration, a place to hang out with friends or make new ones, and as their app’s name suggests, a way to watch movies and tv shows on a big screen.
The interface of Bigscreen can be changed to anything from a living room to an outdoor campfire setting, and each environment gives you a chance to enjoy your media or the media you purchased from their catalog, which even includes some 3D films.
Another huge deal for VR interaction is the ability to stream anything from your desktop into the service.
This means you can share your screen and work with collaborators on a project, split your desktop up into multiple windows for advanced multitasking, or even play your games on a larger-than-life screen.
Bigscreen has proven itself time and time again to be at the forefront of emerging VR interactions, and it continues to expand all the time. The app is available for nearly every VR device imaginable, so if you have one sitting around your house, it will likely work with the service.
With the pandemic making it more difficult to spend quality time with friends and family, it’s great that an experience such as this comes along to help bridge the gap.
From Netflix to baby videos, watching movies together, or even showing off your skills in Fortnite to friends, there’s always something to keep you entertained.
Now with the addition of these free films, there’s never been a better time to jump back in or check it out for the first time.
Bigscreen is available to download now on all major VR platforms.
