Want To Watch Movies, Netflix Shows, Web Series On Your Oculus Quest 1 & 2? Then You Have Come To The Right Place. We’ve Also Included “3 Free Apps” If You Don’t Want To Spend Any Money.
One of the things that attract the attention of people who have entered Virtual Reality is the possibility of watching movies on Oculus Quest 1 & 2.
As Oculus Quest is Standalone, we can watch films, Netflix shows, and other web shows and series while lying on the sofa at home or at our bed.
In addition, we do not have to do it alone, since some applications allow us to view multimedia content with our friends in a virtual environment.
We have included Paid apps as well as FREE apps that allow us to watch Shows and Movies in VR
What Is The Best Application To Watch VR Movies And Shows?
To tell the truth, I do not think that there is an application that is the leader, since depending on our tastes or needs, each of the applications that we are going to see is good in different fields.
We will start with the official applications of the main OTT platforms that have opted for Virtual Reality by creating their own app.
And mostly all of the Apps support Oculus Hand Tracking feature.
