The biggest one, Netflix is going to launch an app "in about 20 minutes", but Twitch, Hulu (http://blog.hulu.com/2015/09/24/huluvirtualreality/), Vimeo and more are going to be right behind it. We didn't get a ton of details on the experience, but we expect to see something like the current Oculus Cinema, where viewers can watch movies in a virtual theater. For the Twitch app, viewers will be able to chat and comment on gaming streams they're watching too. The slide at the event also showed logos for Facebook (obviously), Fox, Lionsgate and even TiVo.
