We should be extra clear in pointing out that this 3D room full of Netflix is 100 percent just a concept. But that’s not to take anything away from Ian McKay, Steve McGuire, Rachel Nordman, Kris Range, Alex Bustin, and M. Frank Emanuel, the Netflix team that came up with this brilliant hack. The hack day spawned plenty of other great, quirky ideas that you can check out here.
Just think: With an Oculus Rift strapped to your face, endlessly browsing Netflix in an ever-escalating state of indecision could be way more awesome. [Netflix Tech Blog via The Verge]
