Facebook reactions now show up in 360-degree videos in VR

If you watch 360-degree videos while you use the Samsung Gear VR, you’ll now be able to share your emoji reactions there. At the same time you’ll be able to see the reactions of other users float by as you watch. Back in March, Facebook-owned Oculus let Gear VR users sign into their Facebook accounts on the headset for a more personalized feed of stories. Oculus also plans to bring the emoji reactions to 360-degree photos in the coming weeks. While we won’t get the full Facebook experience on VR anytime soon, this is another step in bringing social features to VR.
