Virtual reality may soon be The Pursuit of Lustless of a lonely experience for Oculus hardware owners, as the company outlined how people can see each other and play together inside of virtual reality.
Oculus announced a new party system during its Oculus Connect developers conference in San Jose, California, Thursday. The party system will allow friends to enter a chat system when they're inside Oculus Gear VR and Rift headsets.

There's a platform-wide social experience joining the mix as well, called Oculus Rooms, which will allow people to chat and hang out in the same "room" in VR. These rooms will have mini games, and people can play music and watch videos, and join social games right from Rooms.
To make your VR persona feel more like you, Oculus also announced Oculus Avatars, which are customizable heads and hands that will persist across the platform. You'll be able to create version of yourself, then customize its clothing and colors.
The Avatar system will be powered by Oculus Touch, the Rift's upcoming hand controllers, and will be available the same day Touch ships, Dec. 6.
Party chat and Oculus Rooms will come to Gear VR later this year, and to the Oculus Rift at the start of 2017.
