Change seat row in Oculus Cinema

Greetings everyone,

I'm new to the forums and not sure if this has been posted but I saw a post on reddit that you can now change your seating row in Oculus Cinema. The only con I can think of is that you have to use a controller. In the Home Cinema there are 7 options and the Theater it's 3. Start the movie, then press the "Y" button. The 3rd seat in the theater is my favorite.

Awesome! It works for the Home Theater too! With even more seating positions!

What the heck!?

You mean that one of the key suggestions/complaints with Oculus Cinema was that you couldn't change seats and no one on the GearVR team thought to mention something like,...Hey, guys. Actually you can change seats."?

That totally baffles me. I'm glad you found that capability. (Just tried it myself. Pretty cool!) But this one really makes me wonder what they're thinking. :?:

This was a change that came with a recent update, not something thats always been there.

Would have been nice of them to maybe inform us early adapters and devs perhaps through an email list identifying upcoming enhancements. We should start a thread for Easter Eggs :lol: Very cool indeed tho. The cinema alone is worth the cost of admission to the world of Gear VR for some. Its hard for me to understand how I could own a Note 4 myself and not have a purchased a Gear VR even in the early state its in. Thats why I ordered mine on day 1.

What the sweet baby jesus! I even checked the release notes on the update and it didn't mention this, really poor! Thanks so much for making this thread, I'd been wanting to sit further back in the main cinema since day 1!

That is definitely something I miss with the Apple App Store. With every update, there is a "What's New?" description. Sure wish they could do that here.

You have that in the Android Play Store aswell.

With the controller I noticed there are other options in Oculus Cinema now like FFWD, RWD etc - very cool update!!

Moving the seat really makes a difference, personally I like being as close as possible to the screen.
