Finally you can but a virtual reality headset and use it in your home right now. On September 3, 2014, Samsung Electronics in collaboration with Oculus VR announced the Gear VR, an accessible, impressive virtual reality headset. When paired with the Snapdragon variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the Gear VR creates a totally independent system, with no interfacing needed with external devices (in contrast with the Oculus Rift, which requires a PC for the computation), making it a truly mobile system. It features a touchpad on the right side and a back button which are interfaced to the Note 4 via a micro USB connection.
