How To Use Gear VR On PC
There is a brand-new virtual reality headset from Samsung. If you weren't aware, it has just been released.
It's a pretty nifty headset and it definitely immerses you in a fantastic world of movies and games.
Samsung Gear VR is designed to work with smartphones. Thanks to its compatibility with most modern Samsung smartphones, specifically the Galaxy line.
Samsung's Gear VR system is highly rated and people certainly seem to enjoy it quite a bit.
A really high-quality visual system enables 360-degree viewing as well as immersive and panoramic viewing.
Furthermore, it includes a pretty nice controller that can be used to control your games and movies.
In addition, the Samsung Gear VR does not come with its own audio system, so you'll still have to use your Samsung phone's speakers, but it could be worse.
It is important to keep in mind that virtual reality sets for phones, whether the Samsung Gear VR or another, are not on par with those for PCs, Xboxes, or PlayStations.
In the end, smartphones do not have the same gaming or movie-watching capabilities as these gaming systems.
Despite this, some virtual reality systems, such as the Samsung Gear VR, are technically compatible with other systems, especially with PC games.
