The Gear VR is powered by software built by Oculus, the Facebook-owned VR company that makes the Oculus Rift. The Oculus Rift headset creates a 360-degree view that immerses players into fantasy settings by mount it on their heads.

>> You can purchase apps and games from an Oculus store and there are a fair few, though most of the things seems sampled aren't especially stellar. Many fall into the category of tech demo.

>> The combination of premium smartphone and clever software makes for an engrossing virtual reality experience we can take anywhere.

>> Samsung's latest version of its Gear VR headset only works with the company's Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge phones. Like the original Samsung Gear VR, this headset is dubbed the "Innovator Edition".

>> That's quite a few caveats. And this remains a developer-focused device, though Oculus, which makes the headset's virtual-reality software.

Setup

>> Ensure to have a general idea of how much space you have around your chair. And make it a swivel chair, as you'll appreciate the range of motion.

>> The Gear VR snug across your face blocks out all light, heightening the experience but hiding you away inside a deep, dark virtual cavern.

>> The new headset is about 15 percent lighter than the last model, and the straps have been tweaked so it's easier to adjust.

>> If you own an Android-compatible Bluetooth gamepad, you can use that to control the Gear VR experience. Otherwise, you'll find the headset's only controls on the right side: a touchpad helps you get around, a back button takes you back to the previous menu or page, and the volume controls, well, control the volume.

And now begin the game or the movies, or photos!
