    Oculus has just announced that it has added Chromecast support for the Gear VR. The latest version of the Oculus app on your compatible Galaxy device will let you stream virtual reality content to a nearby TV that's connected to a Google Chromecast.

    Gear VR owners can hit the Cast button in the new Oculus app and then step inside the Gear VR so that they can enjoy the VR apps or games with their family and friends. With this feature, other people inside the room can see what you're doing in VR on a nearby Cast-enabled TV.

    People can now show off their VR gaming skills or host a VR party night using the Gear VR. This is also an excellent way to introduce people to VR since you can see everything on the TV that they do in the Gear VR headset, and you can direct them step by step.
