📱 Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition - Virtual Reality for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge - Discontinued by Manufacturer - Review and Availability Review

VR technology is awesome! It exceeded my expectations and is a good toy to play with once in a while. However, be aware that this will drain your cellphone's battery and cause overheating if used for a long time (over 1 hour). I had some trouble launching the software when I connected my phone, but that's because it's a bit laggy. The resolution on the Note 4 is quite high, but it still looks grainy when using this headset. It doesn't help that these high-resolution videos also take up a lot of

My husband bought it for me for Christmas and I love it! It's like having your own IMAX theater! It's very easy to use. Oculus has some games and experiences available for this VR device and I look forward to future releases. My only issue with this device is that certain games cause me quite a bit of motion sickness. I found this to be particularly true of one particular game, Dead Secret. This game is all about running around and finding clues to the puzzle, but it causes more motion sickness

This thing works right out of the box! You connect your Samsung S6 or S6 Edge to it and it activates the Oculus software which asks you to download some required programs like Oculus Cinema, 360 videos etc. It has a face sensor so it pauses when you take it out. Putting it on takes you straight to the Oculus main menu, where you can browse all of your Oculus apps. The head tracking seems flawless in my opinion and will push a lot of people towards VR. This product is an amazing look at what VR…

The immersive environment this device creates is very advanced. It hasn't garnered widespread support yet, but that's how games and media are evolving. The only downside of the device is its bulkiness, which isn't a shock since it's the Note 4 version. I highly recommend that you use this device while sitting on an office chair or sofa. Some of the apps I tested caused motion sickness due to the disassociation between stillness and the illusion of movement. The way the Note 4 is used results in

Decent VR headset Pros: - Build quality is premium - Hands free (unlike Google Cardboard) - Adjustable straps - Good foam padding Cons: - A bit pricey for its price - Image quality isn't much better than Google Cardboard - Overall bulky : This is a good VR headset and very well made. Samsung has put a lot of effort and effort into its development. Still, I wouldn't recommend people to buy it because Google Cardboard does the job for a lower price. In addition, virtual reality is only good for…

Although the Gear VR version I own is quite old (for S6 Edge), I think this rating applies to all Gear VR versions before or after. That's why I bought this (groundbreaking edition) almost 2 years ago. Try VR now. It's good? Then let's get into the details. First it's assembly. The headset is almost entirely made of plastic, which makes it quite light. It fastens at the sides and top for maximum security (the top is removable). It feels way better than any cheap VR headset, and that's how it…

This is by far one of the best $100 purchases I've ever made! The "advantages" (additional headband, black interior color, wider field of vision) over the consumer version are very nice. I have no issues with screen fogging during use; However, it does fog up after removal, so you'll need to quickly wipe the lenses before using them again. Lenses tend to be dust magnets too - store the device well when not in use (it comes with a lens cap and dust bag) or you'll spend 15 minutes blowing…

I love Gear VR - if you've dabbled with Google Cardboard but don't have the system or conviction to jump into desktop VR, Gear VR is a great way to get started with current-gen VR. When I first entered the VR arena I was fortunate to be able to try all types of VR and without a doubt I would recommend anyone who wants to go beyond Google Cardboard and experience what a dedicated VR producer can offer – get the VR GEAR! In fact, it's so obvious at the top of the pyramid when looking at low to…

**WARNING** Apparently this only works with the Note4. If you plan to upgrade to S5/S6 or Note5 soon, please buy Samsung Gear VR (NOT innovative version). I loved it. I bought my Note4 a few months before the 5 was released and I didn't know about it so will have this phone for a while. That's why I bought this. THAT'S WONDERFUL. I watched the presidential debates on CNN in VR. It was like watching an old 320 x 240 tube TV (which shows my age) but it was broadcast live so you can't expect…
