Eyes On: Samsung Gear VR Headset

Capitalizing on the rush for consumer-ready virtual reality devices, Samsung has partnered with Oculus to develop a new headset that it plans on launching this fall: the Samsung Gear VR Headset.

Unlike the aforementioned headsets, Samsung's Gear VR doesn't have any display or CPU of its own.

Instead, it uses the new Galaxy Note 4's quad HD display and speedy Snapdragon 805 to pump out immersive visuals.

The front element is removable and covers a pivoting cradle and micro USB connector for the Galaxy Note 4.

Just pop the Note 4 in and snap it back together and you're good to go.

Inside are two lenses not unlike those found on the Oculus Rift.

Like the Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus, the Gear VR is essentially a blocky plastic rectangle that straps onto your head and over your eyes.
