Replacing Oculus Venues, Horizon Venues will allow you to bring your friends to a virtual place. Horizon Venues, which allows you to participate in virtual events with strangers, is described as a simple live streaming system. The company has announced that they will soon be streaming live NBA games on Horizon Venues.
Facebook said it will add Oculus Avatar support to Unity Engine in December and to Unreal Engine 4 early next year. This means developers can now integrate your Oculus Avatar directly into their games, just as Nintendo did with their personal Mii characters on the Wii.
