In order to see or create the Reactions, users will need update their Oculus Video app (https://www2.oculus.com/experiences/rift/926562347437041/) and connect to their Facebook (http://mashable.com/category/facebook/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) accounts.
