If you have an Oculus Go or Samsung’s Gear VR, then you can catch a number of concerts, sporting events, stand-up comedy and more live this summer from the comfort of your couch. This week Oculus Venues, an app that lets you experience live events via virtual reality from “the best seat in the house.”




The series kicked off with a Vance Joy concert last Thursday, but there’s a pretty solid lineup all summer that includes a wide range of different things to check out. For instance, this Monday you can watch School Night! Live from Hollywood but come Wednesday the app will be offering a live-stream of the Giants vs. the Diamondbacks.




As for whether or not that’s something you want to do, your mileage may vary. I’ve personally watched a handful of Netflix shows in a virtual living room of sorts using my Gear VR. It was fun the first time, but for longer programs, I found wearing headset kind of annoying. That said, if you have a VR headset and have been on the hunt for fun ways to use it, this might be the (virtual) ticket.
