He’s already IPO’d once – this time’s different

🎬 AR & VR Weekly – Netflix Wants You to Chill… in VR

Edition: May 24, 2025

Alright couch potatoes and headset heroes — Netflix just entered the VR party game. 🥽🍿

They’re testing a new feature called “Netflix Lounge” — a virtual living room where you and your friends can watch shows together… as spatial avatars.

You can laugh together, chat, throw popcorn (yes, really), and chill — all from different corners of the world.
It’s like a group FaceTime + Squid Game + Ready Player One. Let’s break it down 👇

📺 What Is Netflix Lounge?

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 1. Watch Parties Go Full VR

• Put on your Quest or Vision Pro → join a virtual room → pick a show

• Your avatar (with full body, facial expressions, and gestures) chills on a couch with your friends

• Talk, react, emote — all while watching the same content together

💡 It’s not just binge-watching — it’s spatial bonding.

🎭 2. Fully Expressive Avatars = Social Vibes

• Spatial avatars mirror your gestures and expressions

• You can high-five, sigh, throw snacks, or roll your eyes at plot twists

• It’s way more engaging than Zoom watch parties or Discord streams

💡 Netflix + vibes = the new way to hang.

🎥 3. Coming to Quest & Vision Pro

• Pilot rolling out on:
  ✅ Meta Quest 3
  ✅ Apple Vision Pro

• iOS/Android users can join in as floating reactions or emojis — so everyone gets a seat on the couch

💡 Cross-platform binging? That’s hot. 🔥

⚡ The Big Debate: Would You Watch Netflix in VR With Friends?

Let’s be real — would you actually use this?

• ✅ Yes! I already live in my headset.

• ❌ Nope. My couch > any virtual room.

• 🤔 Maybe… if the show’s worth it.

📩 Reply with your take — or just drop a virtual popcorn emoji. 🍿

🎭 AR/VR Joke of the Week

Why did the VR user stop watching Netflix?

👉 Because their avatar kept stealing the remote! 😂

📢 Final Thoughts

Netflix is turning streaming into a shared experience again — but with a spatial twist.
It’s fun, weird, and probably the beginning of virtual fandom culture.

📢 Share this with your binge buddy. Or better yet… meet them in VR tonight. 👀

Catch you on the virtual couch,
