After hearing about friends being able to watch the 1986 Transformers movie in the theater for its 40th anniversary (wow we're old), I dusted off the VR headset, plugged in Bigscreen Beta into my #Jellyfin server, via DLNA.
Holy crap, this is awesome! Don't let that video fool you. This screen was HUGE. This was a lot of fun. I'm not a gamer, I use it mostly for meditation and relaxation apps.
Visually, it presented a IMAX-style screen that simulates a display roughly 60 to 100 feet wide.
