[[Samsung Gear VR]] is a [[Virtual Reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Samsung]] and [[Oculus VR]]. Succeeding the [[Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition|Gear VR Innovator Edition]], Samsung Gear VR is [[Oculus Rift]]'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.

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]]. | [[Samsung Gear VR]] is a [[Virtual Reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Samsung]] and [[Oculus VR]].
