The first time we slipped the Gear VR on and looked around a whole virtual world, head turning to take in what was to the side and behind, part of us was impressed with the sheer spectacle. It's quite amazing.But the Gear VR, like virtual reality as a who...
Abstract: Yes, in this case, a virtual reality helmet is only a supplement to the accessory flagship smartphone Samsung. Last in this bunch plays almost all the roles – he is responsible for image processing and playback of sound and image the user sees on the scr...

Open Gallery If Samsung wants to be regarded as an innovator, it needs to produce more devices such as the Gear VR. While the lack of content makes it feel a little like a prototype, it's an actual, buyable product that gives the user an impress...

It's a relatively affordable VR accessory; it creates a better-than-expected sense of immersion using a Note 4 as its screen and engine; apps, while limited, are all free. And it's actually available to purchase now
