Here at the Samsung SEA Forum in Bangkok, we managed to get a some time to try out the Samsung Gear VR at the exhibition hall. Announced back in September 2014, this $199 head gear pairs with the Galaxy Note 4. Having tried the Oculus Rift before, I already had an idea about the Gear VR. The Gear VR is basically the same, only that it is powered by a smartphone (the Note 4) and not a PC which is the original concept. All the controls are found at the side of the Gear VR along with some physical buttons and a touch panel to navigate thru the virtual reality screen. With a price tag of $199, the Gear VR is a nice toy or accessory to the Galaxy Note 4. That's how Samsung is positioning this rather interesting Oculus Rift head gear. The actual name is actually the "Samsung Gear VR Innovator's Edition powered by Oculus".
