Samsung Gear VR – Overviews, Features & Specs

Gear VR is a strange device, and its success or failure is going to influence any other product that aims for the same market.

It’s a shell that fits around a Galaxy Note 4, using the phone for its brains and that beautiful screen, while adding better sensors to aid the head tracking and a touchpad along with a button on the side to allow basic interactions in virtual reality.

You’re not connected to a bulky PC when you’re wearing it, which allows you to spin around 360 degrees without worrying about getting tangled up in any cabling. I was able to spend a good amount of time inside both the development kit and the retail version of the Gear VR, and I’m ready to share some thoughts on the technology.

In layman’s terms: Holy shit, it’s pretty good.
