Need an escape from reality? Samsung Canada has announced the availability of its first Gear VR Consumer Edition.
Gear VR, developed by Samsung in collaboration with Oculus VR and first released in September 2014, allows users to immerse themselves in new worlds via virtual reality.
The Consumer Edition broadens the accessibility of virtual reality to Canadians by allowing users to immerse themselves in new worlds, games and experiences by snapping their Galaxy smartphone into the device.
So, in essence, if the reality in front of you isn’t exciting enough you can now jump into another one, anywhere the world will allow humans to bring a phone.
This latest edition of the Gear VR is compatible with the Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6 edge+, S6 and S6 edge.
Improvements include new foam cushioning that is said to make the device 19 percent lighter than the previous edition, adding comfort for the wearer, and a better touchpad, which provides greater control to users while enjoying films, gaming, 360 degree videos and experiential content.
The Samsung Gear VR Consumer Edition is now available in Frost White at select Canadian retailers and Samsung Experience Stores for $139 CDN.
