My girlfriend was incredulous about one of the big announcements coming out of Oculus Connect yesterday: a fully integrated Netflix app for VR, available on Gear VR today. At first blush, it seems like the epitome of silly announcements that stream out of Silicon Valley: “it’s Netflix, but slightly different! And it’s going to change the world!” To anyone who doesn’t eagerly chomp up any news about Facebook’s Oculus Rift and its VR brethren, this is absurd. But are there good reasons why people beside the truly tech-obsessed want to watch Netflix with head-mounted goggles?
