Hey everyone! Here are the release notes from today's update:
New Modern Cinema - UPDATE TRAILER
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5lqa2hgFIw
2 months ago, we unveiled Bigscreen Home, a modern-themed penthouse, in our massive Bigscreen TV update. Today, we’re excited to show you the Modern Cinema. This brand new environment is designed to look like your local movie theater, and is perfect for watching movies with your friends in VR.
We also added Popcorn, our first physics-based interactive toy. Grab some popcorn and throw it around—if you make a mess, the popcorn kernels will automatically disappear! We plan to add more interactive, physics-based toys in the future like soda cans and mini-games. What toys would you like to see?
We also added Distraction Free Mode, allow you to block popcorn, 3D markers drawings, and some multiplayer sounds (go to Settings > Multiplayer)
Upcoming Events
- August 22—ULA Rocket Launch (6000+ people RSVP'd for our last SpaceX launch!)
- August 23 — Modern Cinema Grand Opening party
- August 25 — The DOTA 2 International Grand Finals
- August 26—MTV VMAs

Starting in September, we will be hosting premium 3D Movie Nights in partnership with major movie studios: you can buy a "virtual movie ticket" to watch amazing 3D movies in our cinema with people around the world.
