Have you ever wanted to come face-to-face with YouTube commenters? Yeah, me neither.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless! Today, Google announced that instead of adding text comments in YouTube VR, the company will be making shared rooms where users can chat by voice\u00a0in VR. The company didn\u2019t detail whether this would\u00a0be random users so we\u2019ll have to see how much auditory spam there\u2019s going to be.<\/p>\n

The system doesn\u2019t sound all that\u00a0different from Oculus Rooms, which allows you to hop into a room with friends and watch videos together.<\/p>\n

With this system you\u2019ll be able to dive into a 360-degree space in avatar form and chat about the videos. It seems quite similar to to what Facebook showed off at F8 with its Spaces social networking app though there won\u2019t be quite as much potential for social interaction due to the limitations of mobile VR.<\/p>\n

YouTube is huge for Google when it comes to mobile VR and they haven\u2019t been shy about admitting that. As a social platform it could be a great spot for friends to meet up though it seems like there\u00a0are undoubtedly quite a few things that need to be addressed before it becomes a safe place to hear the rants\u00a0of strangers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
