Some improvements we’d love to see in the future would be that you’re able to navigate the room using an optional controller to allow you to get different viewpoints and potentially explore more of the world of the Netflix Originals. One of the biggest downsides however is that there’s definitely a quality issue with the programs streamed through the VR application with them reportedly only reaching 480p at best. These two features alone really sells you the VR experience. Topping that however is the ambience lighting that’s projected around the room from the television set as it would in the real world. It’s a nice touch that gives you instant satisfaction. When browsing the Netflix library, the full is fully lit but when you start a movie or a TV episode, the lights start to dim. Navigating Netflix is a breeze with the touch and swipe gestures enabling you to fly around the Netflix UI that’s exactly the same as a tablet or television experience.

There’s probably a lot more easter eggs to be found but we’re yet to find them. Look above the TV and you’ll see an even bigger canvas dedicated to Bojack Horseman. Look to your right and you’ll see some Netflix Original posters for Sense8, Marco Polo and Daredevil. On the table you’ve got a Netflix remote as well as a couple of magazines with some great Netflix Original easter eggs featured on them but we won’t spoil that.

You can then explore the room that is set high up in the mountains in your very own log cabin. The Netflix app places you on a sofa looking straight at a television which is most likely bigger than your own one at home and it really does give you the illusion that you’re looking at a monster TV. Without a subscription however, you can have a look around the virtual environment for free.

The Netflix app for VR weights in at 35MB and can be found in the Oculus store and is free for existing subscribers or free when a user signs up for a free trial or purchases a subscription.
