Smart TV Like service for media/augments

Status: New Idea

Since we are soon to be having augments added next year. I am hopeful that this will also provide the ability to place a custom-sized TV/Cinema screen anywhere in my space persistently with all of the other augment additions.

With this I would like to see the Quest software support the consumption of media in a much more user-friendly way, currently, we have all of these separate "Netflix, Amazon apps providing a mixture of user experiences from good to bad.

I would like to see Meta license and adopt the same approach you would expect from a Smart TV/ Roku/Firestick service. Create your own typical well-thought-out "Roku" dash containing all the services from Netflix to Apple TV services that will simply display on a typical 2D plane, Make this not only available to access in a social media consumption setting but also make it the primary use case for loading up a persistent TV augment in your personal space.

Would be great to throw on my headset, see my passthrough with a fully customised space with a giant screen on the wall containing a refined "Smart TV Dash type experience" which could also of course include an app in addition to Netflix etc for the new Xbox cloud gaming service.

Since this is a more typical place/platform you would find these apps on (2d Smart TV Dash) I am sure we would see developers for streaming apps etc provide more frequent updates similar to what we see across streaming stick etc, unlike what we have currently with the Netflix apps in quest etc no ever really receiving any updates.

Yeah I can see a lot of potential in the entertainment space, being able to turn my living room into a customised cinema space with posters of my favourite movies. If they end up providing an option to purchase movies etc they could even bundle in augments relevant to the movies.. Ready player ones headset, The ring from LOTR, A window into Batmans Lair...
