Hey Lauren yep that's exactly what I'm getting this for - my Q2 arrives on the 5th. My bestie now lives halfway across the USA from me and she's going to get one too so we can be 'together' again. CAN'T WAIT to sit in the theater with her and watch movies
This video needed to happen badly. This is my favorite way to show people how VR can be useful other than gaming.

@@BarryFromEastenders Well since you would be diminishing your field of view to include the "theater" experience (The room, the seats, the fake popcorn etc) wouldn't that be a less immersive experience? Why would you want to simulate a cinema and make the field of view smaller? If you want it so badly it can be done, however I don't think someone made an application like that yet.
I got big screen after seeing your video bout a year ago. It's my go-to. Thanks for the great content
I hope so much that streaming services pick up 3D content (again) (Netflix had support for a while when 3D TVs were a novelty, but shut it down after low adoption) now that VR is on the rise that would get such a huge and growing market

@@lukalabudovic5385 the display itself yes, but the perceived resolution is a whole different story because: 1) you see only half of the pixels per eye 2) the image of a movie would be way too big to watch if it took up your entire FOV of around 90 degrees the rule of thumb for the best viewing experience of a movie is that it should take up around 45 degrees of your horizontal FOV (if you went bigger you would have to move your head too much to see everything) so if you do all the calculations you end up with about 916x515 pixels for a 16x9 aspect ratio image for a comfortable 45 degrees viewing angle I just now realized as well that with the current resolution we can only watch movies in a quality that is something in between the usual 480p and 720p resolutions but in defence of the Q2 it somehow still feels more impressive than that - like rather something between 720p and 1080p, leaning more towards 1080p
Excellent BMFVR. I utilize Bigscreen quite often. I do plug it in because it helps with stability with huge file sizes and the bandwidth required to play them, a 4K movie for example or a full Remux of a 1080p requires some horsepower that Airlink just can't seem to handle easily yet (I think it's limited to 100Mbps?) but more importantly I use it in remote desktop so the sound plays through my surround sound system in the office 😁 3D ? Forget aboot it, absolutely crazy nice. I've stuck with 3D Plasma/Projector as an avid watcher and this version of 3D is just crazy great. Thanks for sharing.
I just bought 2 of these rigs for my husband and I to play golf together. It's getting too cold to play outside (Canada) and I wanted something fun to do inside. We also watch tons of movies. Can't wait to try the cinema feature out as a group!!! New subbie.
I'm still using my Google Gear headset by Oculus.. Just for the theater experience and I love it. The up side to that old original tech is I can put an sd card in my phone and have tons of full length feature films without killing my phone memory.. Down side,,, One theater choice. I'm leaning heavily towards getting the quest 2, primarily for theater.... This video has really pushed me towards taking the leap.. Watching a movie on the big screen in bed is really relaxing...
i pretty much watch everything other than shows in Big Screen now thanks to this channel
Was very nice for an on-board app. Thanks for the suggestion.

Love the explanation. Thank you for the trip ❤
I can finally replicate the imax experience at my home.
Thanks a lot for this recommendation I just recently got my quest 2
There is also the Remote Desktop, if you do not like to load files to your Quest2. I use VLC to play movies and adjust colors, as I think the color of screen is too much on the red side.
Thanks. This video may already be obsolete but I just had no idea where to start. ❤
Awesome video! Thanks!
Thank you for the video I’m a big fan of Bigscreen
Love that this is free and I dont have to spend money on virtual desktop. I remember during dk1/dk2 days the only way to watch movies was via virtual desktop

I LOVE BIGSCREEN!!! Such a fun app
If it can incorporate Apple Spatial Audio for headsets for movies with Dolby Atmos going, it will take it to the next level.
One of my favorite apps.
Love Bigscreen, yet... I really do want to lay on my back and see it how I would like (even turning over on my side). There is one 'scene' in the bedroom, but it's not centered. Otherwise... ya... enjoying Bigscreen! I like the South Balcony. Yet, I switch around to various theatres depending on them movies or mood. Thanks for the vids... helps a lot for relative noobs. Hope all is well!
I checked out Bigscreen the other night for the first time and checked out 3D trailer room. There was some kid in their making ghost sounds and I immediately got out. Haha.

Skybox is AMAZING and the absolute best.
So cool!
While I do like Bigscreen for what it is, I have one major complaint which actually sounds like it might have been fixed in an update that you mentioned. The issue I have is while setting up a room and inviting someone to come watch, our movies are not synced. My mom and I have tried to watch movies in bigscreen at least 3 times since we have had our Quest 2's and every time I set up the room and when she gets in I will start playing the movie but only mine starts. Even if both of our headsets start playing at the same time we eventually get a 3-5 second if not more of a gap between what we are seeing.

It is because you are the ones streaming. The data from the PC will go to your headset because you own the room, and from your headset, you will broadcast now the data to all other people to see. That's why you see the movie first before others even you both lives in the same house or same network.
I went into Big Screen for the first time 2 days ago and I have to say that there were people in there that were rude and kept talking during the movie. I learned that I would have to just invite my friends! Other than that, it’s great! Great video! I actually learned something! Thanks!

I wish I could somehow connect to a DVD player, I have so many home movies I burned from VHS to DDVD that would be awesome to see in VR, I still watch them all the time. If there were a way to do that, like use my Series X to watch disk based movies I'd buy one.

Or what if for these types of files, the technical specifications of the Oculus Quest 2 are already perfect and even better ones would be irrelevant? Thank you. Cordial greetings. Davide.

I disagree with you about the Netflix out it works just fine in my opinion. For me I feel like Netflix should offer more ways to watch than just that room where you're sitting in front of a big 70 plus inch TV. They should give you a cinema if you want to a bedroom basically everything that big screen offers and so should prime video.
