Our hack uses the Oculus Rift to create a virtual control room for internet streaming video. We are primarily targeting sites like Twitch.tv, which many gamers use to view streams and commentary of their favorite players. To take advantage of the immersive nature of the Oculus Rift we also pull comments from the comment streams in real time and represent individual commenters as avatars in this virtual space - complete with chat bubbles and animations. Currently, our program works with Youtube, Justin.tv, and Twitch.tv and there are some features to allow switching video streams in real time.
