Bigscreen, the social VR app which brings you and your computer’s desktop into VR with your friends, is launching on Oculus Home today and getting an update with new features and better performance.
Bigscreen, which launched on Steam back at the end of April, is now available directly through Oculus Home, supporting cross-play with Steam/Vive users (the app had supported the Rift through Steam since launch as well).
The free title is still in beta, and is receiving regular updates. The latest of which brings enhanced features and better performance.

Perhaps the biggest change to this version is a new character builder for creating custom avatars. In prior versions of Bigscreen, players were represented by a ghostly white head. Still just a disembodied head, please will at least now be able to mix and match various styles and accessories to create their own avatar.

Other enhancements include the much-requested desktop audio streaming, a new user interface, and performance improvements.
