Samsung Gear VR is a virtual reality device developed by Samsung Electronics in collaboration with Oculus VR.

The major advantage of the Gear VR is portablity and affordability. It has a slightly smaller field of view than the Oculus Rift, and its processing power is limited to the device which is plugged into it. This is currently the Note 4 with the early developers edition, and includes the S6 and S6 edge with the innovator edition.

The innovator edition and the soon to be released commercial version will be available in retail shops in Australia in 2016.

UPDATE: The commercial release of the Gear VR will accomodate a range of the latest Samsung phones.
