Facebook brings reaction emojis to 360-degree VR videos

Facebook-owned Oculus introduced new 360-degree video reactions for the Gear VR headset. Users will now be able to see and leave Reactions, similar to the ones which were unveiled early this year. Oculus will also be rolling these out to 360 Photos in the “coming weeks”.

A report by TechCrunch points out that this roll-out is yet another sign of Facebook slowly bringing to VR features that are mainstays in the Facebook ecosystem.  

While viewing 360-degree videos, users will also be able to see others reactions float on their screen as well. The report also stated that Reactions will let people convey complex emotions without breaking the momentum of an experience.
