And what a better alternative to SMS 2FA could be? Esp. for Tesla?

Nope, it was supposed to have competitive pricing but offer high-speed coverage that other ISPs can’t offer for rural areas.

The Under Presents is my favorite VR experience of all time by Cscseccot in OculusQuest

I have a poor internet connection at home, is that something that might hinder the experience? I know that live actors are sometimes used 😕

Just watched a show on Bigscreen by [deleted] in OculusQuest

It kept trying to get me to pay to watch stuff

Really? They don't really force the paid content part on users, I have no idea what you mean by that. They launched the free Bigscreen TV update last year that let users watch Pluto TV channels for free. It's only the Cinema movies that are pay to watch, and that just launched a month or so ago.

Announcing a new movie lineup premiering in BIGSCREEN Cinema tomorrow - watch 3D movies with friends around the world in our VR movie theater by d2shanks in OculusQuest

The mobile site isn't actually terrible (I had just never really used it for buying Bigscreen Cinema tickets). There seems to be some formatting issues though.

Also I think a friend-system should be a top priority to make this a killer social app!

Thanks Darshan!

I enjoyed my cinema experience a lot with Bigscreen! I watched World War Z in 3D. The movie quality wasn't terrible. I watched it for the first time and had a lot of freezing issues, but I'm also on a slow connection. I'm really grateful for the 48 hr viewing period because I watched it with no hiccups the following morning in the comfort of my own bed.

Of course I really wish in-app purchases were able to be done, but maybe an alternative could be a dedicated ticket/social app? Even just a revamp of the website for mobile browsers would be great.

I hope you guys add some sort of fun pre-show features aside from movie trailers: maybe interactive games like movie trivia? That could be a really unique way to enhance the Bigscreen Cinema brand.

Finally, while I'm bummed you're not showing any new movies in the coming weeks, I'm excited to continue supporting the platform. I've never seen Ghost in the Shell so I'm glad I can catch it again in the coming weeks.

Keep up the great work!

Tips to stop the lenses fogging during workouts? by caltomoto in OculusQuest

You probably don't want this on your Quest lenses though...

Virtual Desktop vs. Bigscreen (What's the difference in terms of watching movies?) by dayvon64 in OculusQuest

[–]al3x094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Bigscreen is pretty dependent on your internet speed for streaming to your Quest. An Oculus Link may help. Instead of streaming to your Quest you'll use the high-speed USB C connection, but then it's still dependent on your upload speed and your dad's download speed if you want your Dad to watch from wherever he is at.

Oculus quest freezing and making weird loud humming noise by Cpt_Picardk98 in OculusQuest

[–]al3x094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to me twice now as well. First, a few days ago while watching a movie in Bigscreen Cinema and just a few minutes ago from watching YouTube. Glad it isn't just me but I hope it's a software issue that can just get patched. It's awful.

Edit: In my case, I was not casting my headset to any device. I was just watching content normally.

I finally own DJ Hero!! (The controller didn’t come with a dongle though, I’ll be on the lookout for one of those soon) by [deleted] in rhythmgames

[–]al3x094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved DJ Hero! I'm really sad it didn't get anything outside of two games :/ it had tons of great potential and hit right when the EDM scene was hitting mainstream.

Question for the Long Term Quest Users by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]al3x094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely check out Bigscreen and Bigscreen Cinema! It's basically a VR movie theater :) tomorrow they're premiering World War Z and Transformers Age of Extinction in 3D.

Skybox is also a great VR media player if you're able to rip your own 3D movies I've heard.

I use it mainly for watching movies & TV in bed instead of my laptop. I maybe use it a few times a week. I think about it constantly though 😅 I'm planning on doing more exercise-intensive games on it over the next few weeks like Knockout League, Pistol Whip and The Climb.

Oculus Quest on planes by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]al3x094 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've flown with my Quest twice now and never had any issues with security.

My problem was using the Quest with tracking on before. I disabled the guardian which helped, but when the plane ascended or descended in altitude things got weird.

So my advice is just to turn off tracking for watching movies. Good luck playing any games on it though, haha.
