Watch The International 6 from the comfort of your home with Dota VR Theater

Soon, you won’t be needing to leave your house apparently.

One of the main goals of Virtual Reality is to close distances like never before. The tech finally matured enough to resurface as Vive and Oculus Rift, and its uses in gaming won’t be only about you playing the game, but also spectating it.

The latest Compendium updatethat  went live yesterday officially introduced the Dota VR Hub, where viewers will be able to use their VR headset to watch live matches or replays in Dota VR Theater, and even “jump through the minimap into the game itself.”

Dota VR Theater provides the viewer with either a bird’s-eye view of the proceedings or the ability to “stand on the ground” ground to watch the tournament at full scale.

To learn more about this feature head to the Compendium Update page and the VR Hub FAQ.

Dota 2: The International 2016 runs August 8-13.
