Samsung Gear VR - Mobile Virtual Reality

Earlier, during the Samsung UNPACKED 2014 Episode 2 event, Samsung unveiled 4 devices. The fist they unveiled is the Samsung Gear S, which we already know by now. The next is this one, the Samsung Gear VR. In partnership with Oculus, the Gear VR is Samsung's first virtual reality device. Now, I am not really an expert or whatever with virtual reality but since this is Samsung City, I am obliged to inform you. The device will be available via Samsung's online stores and select carriers within this year.

“The Samsung Gear VR goes far beyond expectations of how mobile technology can be used to consume content, and is a powerful representation of the progressive innovation of the Gear series,” said JK Shin, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics. “We are pleased to have partnered with Oculus VR to bring this incredibly immersive mobile content experience to consumers.”

"We are thrilled to reveal the Gear VR Innovator Edition, a state-of-the-art mobile VR experience powered by Oculus," said John Carmack, CTO of Oculus. "The deep technical partnership with Samsung has enabled us to create a virtual reality headset with world class resolution and performance, all on a completely mobile platform."
