Samsung Gear Gen 2 Virtual Reality (UK Version)

Wow. Oculas is so much more advanced than Google's Cardboard and Plasticbag. There is no eye width adjustment on this Gear VR (2)(2016) model (black with side touchpad). But it is not needed as t he lens are 110° - alot bigger than Googles goggles. Also no frame or edges as seen in the Gear VR2 goggles. As with my Plastic Cardboard (Plasticbag) the white frame and Samsung logo can be seen. Cardboard - and plastic versions are good but Oculas is so much more 3d and more 3d between background and objects between your eyes and the background. Pros More advanced than Cardboard. Netflix 360 as standard VR player as standard VR2 is now 50% cheaper Remember this is VR not AR. This is Oculas VR and not Oculas AR. You roam around a 360° world as photo or video background (vr) and not (ar) that it is 3d graphically drawn up by gpus and you can go anywhere like in a RPG. VR to move you see a icon in the world like googlemaps street maps and that runs another 360° photo video, VR games mix this method with photo video with overlayed 2d graphics. Lots of free demos and free real full apps to use. When software eventually installed and you get running - it all works. Connects to phone by USB and proxiemty sensor when putting googles on turns Oculas on automactically and instantly. When remove phone, Oculas quits to phone Social media and sms and phonecalls come in when in Ocuals system and apps as 3d message bubbles. Buttons and touchpad are on rightside of headset. Headset eye sponge and holder are so soft and comfortable. Cons Not compatable with Cardboard unless emulator or app has convertor. You have to have a facebook account You have to have a Oculas account 15mins on a Samsung S7Edge and heat alarm. Can be very bizare installing for the first time... Like Windows 95 was with lots of additional software - keeps asking to hit install button, then wanting you to join facebook and then Oculas account needs facebook account to make a Oculas account. GearVR will not work without a facebook acount. Install stuff from Oculas shop and first install only when connected via broadband and your mobile data switch off. First install ins 350MB and apps are around 100MB to 700MB each then some stream. Buy a Cardboard as well to get use to GearVR as a taster. Cardboards made in plastic "Plasticbag" cost no more than £10 and uses Google Play so apps are mostly free. Have not worked out yet how to get sound working. FAQ. Can not get bluetooth controller This is because 1)You need a facebook account. 2)You need the GearVR googles. ) You can not use GearVR controller without a GearVR headset - it will not work. The GearVR controller is bluetooth but only will actually control anything via the Oculas software and not Cardboard or HID compatable. Everyone is having this problem - and thinking buying the controller for Cardboard or Plasticbag Cardboard. Different between VR 2015 (silver) and VR2 2016 (black). The VR2 does not need the extra controller pad.

This device is amazing, fits my samsung s7 perfect. So easy to use just plug your phone in the vr, push down the button clip that says A B and slide towards your phone and it adjust to fit and hold your phone in place, when your phone is connected to the vr it automatically comes up on your phone and tells you what to do next, its as easy as that. The thing that bothered me before buying was how would you move around in the games did i need a controller ? No you dont the vr as a touch pad at the side of the vr and back button also zoom to adjust for your eyes. Most games and apps you will use the touch pad and others you move around with a tiny white dot infront of you or some times it tells you to look at something and you will move. You dont even need to charge the vr it uses the battery from your phone it can drain your battery thats only because i cant keep of it, you get a connection thing that comes with the VR so you can charge your phone when its in the VR. It will make your eyes go funny after first use, but after that its no problem your eyes adjust. the head straps all adjust so no matter how big or small your head is it will fit. I find it very comfortable to wear. Do be warned of hunted house game and face your fears it is most definitely a very real feeling i nearly broke the VR and my phone but luckily when i jumped out my skin i was near my settee so saved my vr. One more thing if your not good on rollercoasters like me and you go on the VR rollercoasters it made me feel sick and dizzy..i know im sounding like a real wimp but this does feel so real you will not be disappointed at all.

Great, high-quality VR set for reasonable price. I would definitely recommend Gear VR if you own S6/S7 mobile already. (also it should be S8 compatible, but I didn't have a chance to test it yet) It's a full scale VR experience - 360 videos, 3D apps, your own virtual cinema for the movies. Virtual cinema looks really impressive, like a huge screen. Pros - Technical quality is excellent. - A lot of free content in Oculus store and Samsung VR. - If you have DLNA-compatible media center, you can play your content through Samsung VR (you will need to manually enable DLNA in Samsung VR app settings). Cons - It works with topline Samsung mobiles only (S6 and up). - The premium content in Oculus store might look expensive, few times more than an average Android app. - Cardboard compatibility issue - though it is possible to run cardboard applications, it requires some tech tricks and workarounds. Tips - Swinging chair is the most comfortable option. - Battery life: my S6 lasts about 1.5-2 hrs, going from 100% to 10%. Summary: It's a fantastic VR experience. I would give it 5 stars if it had an official Cardboard support. PS. I received a Chinese version (box and manual) for some reason, though the hardware itself works fine and all apps are in English.

Lo avevo già provato in negozio, poi ho utilizzato altre marche, alla fine ho preso l'originale per il mio S7. Una stella in meno perché nel VR c'era una microvite ballerina, che non ho capito da dove è uscita fuori. Inoltre mancavano le protezioni di plastica alle lenti. Prodotto riciclato? Comunque, l'importante è che funzioni bene e che faccia il suo mestiere, e lo fa. Una nota: ho preso questa versione perché il R324 (quello nuovo) pare sia identico al vecchio, tranne che per il telecomando in aggiunta, ma quello si può comprare su Amazon a 2 euro a parte. Confronto con il mio Shinecon VR: il Samsung VRvince sul campo visivo (più ampio, con lo Shinecon vedo parte dello chassis laterale del telefonino, che disturba la visione), vince poi sull'adjustment (con lo shinecon ho problemi con la presbiopia e fatico di più a regolare il fuoco) e sulla qualità in generale (costa pure il doppio). Misteriosamente, però, la risoluzione sembra migliore con lo Shinecon. E la differenza sta unicamente nei software utilizzati, ovvero quelli ufficiali Samsung e Oculus contro i vari VR VideoPlayer e specialmente l'ottimo Fulldive. Farò ulteriori prove...

Das Prinzip ist toll, die Umsetzung ist super (Auflösung besser als Oculus, Sony und Co, für ein Handy mit Akku im Vergleich mit Google Cardboard Daydream), sehr viele Apps und Inhalte (Medien, Apps, Videos etc.) von selbst erstellt (Gear 360, Cardboard Camera etc.) für Kinder bis Erwachsene. Sehr beeindruckend. Nachteile: Die Technik ist noch ganz neu - trotz der besten Auflösung auf dem Markt (mit einem Galaxy S7 oder neuer) sieht man immer noch Pixel. Mit Glück ist das Bild genau in der Mitte scharf aber leicht außerhalb schon nicht mehr. Außerdem wird mein Galaxy S7 relativ schnell warm und die Oculus-Software hält Apps wegen Überhitzung an. Bastler haben sich einen USB-Powerpack und einen Ventilator an die Brille montiert (die Brille hat einen USB-C Ladeanschluss mit beigelegtem MicroUSB Adapter). Aber alles in allem ein spannendes Spielzeug für Nerds.

Bon le prix pour commencer, pas cher la qualité au top les plastique sont tres bon les performances ? avec un Galaxy S7 ( un DPI très élevé 570+ ) bah y'a beaucoup trop de pixel de visible , c'est pas encore au point, y'a l'effet mais le défaut des pixel gâche la sensation, va falloir de la VR avec du 4k par oeil surement pour pas ou plus avoir ses pixels de visible
