Netflix
and thrill?
Netflix
might already be your go-to spot for TV and film streaming content,
but soon the service might be welcoming users into a full 3D
immersive world of virtual reality. Speaking at the Mobile World
Congress 2016 this week, Netflix VP of Product Innovation Chris Jaffe
said, “Right now, with virtual reality, we think virtual reality
has a great place in gaming, and we’re very interested in where it
could go in storytelling.”
Netflix
already have a VR app for the Samsung Gear VR, in which users can sit
in, and look around, a virtual environment while watching 2D Netflix
content on a screen. However, this could mean that soon the streaming
service might be offering real VR content and full 3D, 360 degree
shows. This blows our tiny minds.
Imagine
standing in the middle of one of Dare Devil's gruesome fight scenes,
or sitting next to Frank Underwood as he turns to you to deliver a
monologue in House of Cards. Awesome.
