Bigscreen Beta turns virtual reality into a shared viewing and desktop space. Friends can meet in a cozy home theater or a large cinema-style environment to watch videos together, while its broader design also accommodates gaming and work. Rather than centering on a conventional match or campaign, it brings people and their own media into customizable virtual rooms.
The viewing tools are varied: users can share a desktop, play video files through the built-in player, watch supported 3D movies, or tune in to official movie broadcasts. Virtual displays can be shaped and sized to suit the room, with support for as many as three monitors; the video player can sit alongside desktop screens for a mixed entertainment and productivity setup. Public and private rooms support social gatherings, and environments range from retro theaters to campfires and living rooms. The listing also describes 3D markers for making images in shared virtual space.
Bigscreen Beta is listed as VR-only, with cross-platform headset support, so its appeal is rooted in shared virtual spaces and personal screens rather than a standard flat-screen game structure.
