Samsung Gear VR is a [[Virtual Reality]] head-mounted display developed by [[Samsung]] and [[Oculus VR]]. It is [[Oculus Rift]]'s mobile device. To use Samsung Gear VR, the user needs to mount a [[Galaxy Note 4]], [[Galaxy 6]] or [[Galaxy 6 Edge]] inside it. The smartphone serves not only as Gear VR's screen but also as its computer. Even though it requires Galaxy Note 4, Gear VR has [[Oculus Rift]]'s head-tracking technology built within, allowing it to quickly and accurately track head movements. This technology differentiates Gear VR from the likes of [[Google Cardboard]]. The latter relies on smartphone's sensors to track head movements, which are less accurate and has higher latency. Unlike the [[Oculus Rift]], Gear VR is completely mobile. It doesn't need to be connected to a computer.
There are 2 versions of Samsung Gear VR: Samsung Gear VR for Galaxy Note 4 and Samsung Gear VR for Galaxy S6 / Galaxy S6 Edge.
==Hardware==
Constructed from plastic outer on the outside and soft cushion on the inside, Gear VR looks like a pair of bulky laboratory goggles. It requires Galaxy Note 4 as its display and source of computation. The smartphone is clipped to the front of the goggle. A pair of lenses focuses the user's vision similar to that of Google Cardboard. There is a strap that wraps around your head and another that goes on top of your head.
