Samsung Gear VR is a Virtual Reality headset developed by Samsung and Oculus VR. To use Samsung Gear VR, the user needs to mount a Galaxy Note 4, a smartphone made by Samsung, 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 likes of Google Cardboard. The latter relies on smartphone's sensors to track head movements, which are less accurate and has higher latency.
