Oculus has also revealed that a dedicated section for Facebook videos will be rolled out to the Samsung Gear VR headset next week. With the help of the new section, Gear VR users will be able to connect their Facebook account to view a feed of 360-degree videos which is personalized on the basis of friends and pages followed by them.
In addition, Gear VR users will also be able to create "rooms" in Oculus Social, to watch Twitch and Vimeo streams with their acquaintances in VR.
Oculus has also announced that two new social games -- 'Social Trivia' and 'Herobound: Gladiators' -- are also being added to Gear VR headset, to enable users to "band together with up to four people to conquer goblins and demons in arena battlefields."
