BERLIN: Samsung announced its first-ever virtual reality headset last night, named Gear VR. It is a headset that Samsung has built in
conjunction with VR company Oculus, and the company aims to invest more in thistechnology in coming time.
So, what does it feel like to play a game or watch a movie using the headset? Here are our first impressions of Samsung's new Gear
VR virtual reality headset...
Samsung Gear VR is a pretty big gadget and consists of two parts -- the headset and the strap. The headset is big and characterized by
a curvy and sloping design. You need to pop a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in the headset in order to make Gear VR work.
On the right side of the headset is a touch-sensitive scroll pad that can be used to juggle between different functions on the screen.
The volume hardware key is also located on the right. You can change the focus of the image from a scroll wheel located on the top of the screen. This feature works well even if you wear prescription glasses.
However, if the difference in the power of both your eyes is very big, then viewing the image would be a problem as you cannot change focus separately for both eyes.
