Samsung Gear VR is a Virtual Reality head-mounted display developed by Samsung and Oculus VR. Succeeding the Gear VR Innovator Edition, Samsung Gear VR is Oculus Rift (Platform)'s first consumer mobile device and the 2nd device in the Gear VR series. To use Gear VR, users need to mount a 2015 or newer Samsung Smartphone inside it. The smartphone serves not only as Gear VR's screen but also as its computer. Unlike other mobile HMDs, Gear VR does not solely rely on the smartphone's IMUs for tracking. It has additional IMUs and Oculus' rotational tracking technology built within, allowing for fast and accurate tracking of the user's head movements. While impressive, the current Gear VR does not possess positional tracking.
Announced during Oculus Connect 2, Samsung Gear VR was released in November 20, 2015 for $99. Users who pre-order Galaxy S7 and S7 edge will receive the HMD for free.
