Its features include an ultimate fascinating viewing experience, making it easy for everyone to enjoy Virtual Reality with its mega-sized screen. One can also navigate and experience Virtual World, and enjoy watching exclusive movies and games they love.

The gear VR includes an ergonomic design, with soft and flexible cushions, for ultimate comfort design.

The headset covers the user's eyes with its chunky black box and places users in a computer-generated world. With this, it has attracted many large companies of the tech industry, including Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, who stated that the gear VR could have as much impact on the way we live, and thus, Facebook purchased Oculus for 2 billion dollars last year. Mark also confirmed that Facebook will be committed to this for a long term, US News & World Report.

The headset gives developers an opportunity to create an immersed 3D environment, since the obvious application of the gear is video games. Ensuring many virtual worlds will be available to early adoptors of the application to explore, Oculus made partnerships with game makers, bringing in more anticipation from consumers. The company planned to bring back the classic arcade game Pac-Man since the company struck partnership and agreements with Midway, Namco, and Sega.

Consumers and gamers from all over the world anticipate the release of gear VR, since it is the first headset to set into virtual reality. Samsung's releases just keep getting better and better each year, and technology becomes even more efficient in our everyday lives.
