[[Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition]] is a [[Virtual Reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Samsung]] and [[Oculus VR]]. Released in December 2014, Gear VR Innovator Edition is [[Oculus Rift]]'s first mobile device. It was succeeded by the consumer version of [[Samsung Gear VR]], released in November 2015. 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.
