When I first cast my eyes on the Samsung Gear VR headset, I had a flashback memory of the View Master. Remember those big red goggles?
Well fast-forward 20+ years and Samsung introduces us to a futuristic device, a headset that you can move about in without having to worry about an external simulator. Sounds ultramodern huh? Sure does, the catch is that to take advantage of this progressive gadget, you must own a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I have a Samsung Note 3, so I am kind of bummed that I would have to upgrade to enjoy Samsung’s latest spoils.
Do not worry if it is not love at first sight, virtual reality is something that simply needs to be experienced.
Available only to US residents for a friendly price of $199USD.
