Abstract: Yesterday, I was whizzing through space in search of other planets containing an inhabitable life-sustaining environment. I tried, and failed to escape giant beasts as I ran through temple halls and jumped over obstacles that only seemed to want to slow m...

Functional, elegant design. Physically comfortable to wear. Excellent picture, thanks to the Galaxy Note 4's display. Runs untethered.
Requires a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. No way to charge the phone while it's in the headset
Samsung's Oculus-powered Gear VR Innovator Edition is a well-designed, functional headset, but it requires a very specific Samsung smartphone to work....

Abstract: When we met with Oculus VR earlier this year, the team mentioned that future versions of the Rift headset could skip the PC, and instead use mobile devices for brains. Now we see what they were cooking up. Read on, as Gizmag reviews Oculus' collaboration ...
The Gear VR is a comfortable and enjoyable way to access virtual reality, with a small but growing number of experiences to try out. While not perfect, the resolution and latency are at a point that it feels ‘good enough' for market – and the fact you can
The fact that the Gear VR relies entirely on the Galaxy Note 4 is a harsh limitation. While it's not the most costly thing in the world for Note 4 owners, it becomes largely more expensive for anyone without Samsung's phablet. And until it gets some bigge
The biggest drawback right now is that Gear VR is limited to the Note 4, meaning it's a product that could become outdated in just a matter of months. There are rumours that the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will be compatible with the headset, but just imagine h...
The Gear VR controller is the missing link we've really needed from Samsung's virtual reality headset. It's going to make the VR experience more enjoyable.The fact that the newer Google Daydream View has a remote only increased fan pressure of Samsung to...

Immersive VR experiences, Sturdy, comfortable design, Remote adds a lot to it
Only for flagship phones, Meatier content, please, Some light bleeds in
It might not have been possible to actually try out the new controller, but just getting to grips with one gives a pretty good idea what to expect when it officially goes on sale. Better interaction was exactly what Gear VR needed, in light of Google's e...
Good selection of software already available, Accurate performance, No wires to worry about, Works with most Bluetooth pads
Requires a Samsung phone to work, Limited power when compared to other VR headsets
As with all VR in 2016, there's no doubt that Samsung and Oculus are finding their feet with this device. No one truly knows what direction VR is going to take over the next few years, yet Gear VR does an excellent job of selling the dream. Sure, the so...

Abstract: Virtual reality has been on the horizon for a very long time now. The problem is, until quite recently the technology that would make it possible just didn't exist. Now, and largely thanks to Oculus VR - the company behind Oculus Rift - we have a system t...
