    Consumer-ready virtual reality is still at least half a year away, but Samsung's Gear VR Innovator Edition gives us a first glimpse at what the first apps and games for mobile VR could look like. We discuss the headset's hardware, Oculus-made interface software, and demo some of the first games being sold on this platform. Plus, weird Gear VR eyes!
    (Correction: Gear VR runs the Note 4 at 60Hz, not 75Hz. Apologies for the mistake!)
    Thanks to B&H for proving the Note 4 for this review. You can find out more about the phone we used at: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product...

      +illGottenGains 20 years ago a simple calculator-like lcd display mobile phone was cool. Colors were just a dream. Having an antenna shorter than 5cm was cool. Tetris and minesweeper were the future, who had those games on a phone was very cool. Now people say that Note 5 is out and Note 4 sucks. It's amazing how technology evolves, and that's all thanks to the consumers that get excited about any new feature.

    There are many Cardboard games on Google Play, but in normally you can not Run it on Samsung GEar VR. For Gear VR lovers, there is a solution to Play CardBoard games on GearVR headset. You need to Go Google Play and search "Play Cardboard apps on Gear VR" tool with blue icon. hope this can help

    amazing video guys, I loved it. There are a lot of useless comments on youtube so I will try to be as constructive and helpful as possible with this one. I really enjoyed watching the video, you give accurate and important info. Norm, You often go into details about the small features (like that option with the calibration) too much as where you could have focused on other things. Will, You do more of the talking but never actually try on the Gear VR; We only hear about Norm's opinions on the Gear VR but less your opinion on it. Thanks guys for making the video, it was very entertaining and informative. Greetings Dominique

    Tested , there used to be an amusement park in MA, that had a "180° theater". Basically what they did, was project movies up onto a half dome, giving you the feeling of being inside the movie. I was a little kid, and it made me queasy, because the movie was filmed using helicopter fly over.

    I would personally like to see a bit more of the Gear VR, as I'm curious how the mobile VR experience is panning out.
    If you could make another video and focus on perhaps more games, as well as the theoretical advantages of the Gear over something like the Rift, or Vive then I would be happy.

  • @ColdCutz
    @ColdCutz 9 лет назад

    NoLimits Coaster 2 or some other coaster sim would be ideal for mobile VR, because it's a passive, seated experience where you mainly just look forward, and yet still offers high intensity from the sense of speed and depth that comes with stereoscopic vision.

  • @sonoma1060
