Even after leaving the Daily Show behind, apparently Jon Stewart just couldn't stay away. HBO just announced it has signed a four year production deal with the TV host that will kick off with "short form digital content," Engadget reports.
He's apparently working with the graphics company OTOY on new technology that will allow him to create and post digital content "multiple times throughout the day" on HBO Now. We contacted the network and confirmed that it will be on HBO Go as well for cable customers. According to Stewart "Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me. I'm pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again."
Beyond being "the game streaming service you've never heard of" OTOY has been working on tech for virtual reality video streams you can move around in among other things, although there's no word on exactly what it will do here. In the video below, you can see a SIGGRAPH demo of its technology for bringing a person's body into VR using positional tracking.
