VIDEO: What if Your Netflix Queue Was Just a Big, Virtual Room ?

Sure, we Know Oculus VR Chief Technology Officer John Carmack's Likes Watching Movies on the Rift Headset from Bed When he's Sick but, What if you'd Rather Catch Up on Orange is the New Black instead ? A Recent Hackathon at Netflix Produced Something that Could Make that Possible. The Custom UI, Dubbed "Oculix", Shows Off What it'd be Like to Navigate the Interface in a Virtual Space Replete with Gesture Control. It Looks Pretty Neat if you Ask us. What, with its Floating Tiles and Text Descriptions and All that. Sadly, Unlike the Homebrew Oculus Apps we're Used to, Whether or Not the Greater Community will Get to Give this a Shot is Up in the Air. As is Typical with Netflix's Hack Day Projects, the Outfit is Making No Promises of "Oculix" Ever Seeing the Light of Day.
