Virtual Reality Equation: Samsung phone + Gear VR bundle
What is VR? What is Virtual Reality?
VR? Virtual Reality? It’s everywhere right now…the gaming world is buzzing about it! But what exactly is VR? And Virtual Reality?
An artificial world that consists of images and sounds created by a computer and that is affected by the actions of a person who is experiencing it.” ~Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Well that sounds pretty cool! Like something my “Early Tech Adopter Dad” might like! Hey Dad, let’s go to Best Buy and try Virtual Reality out! Dad? Dad? Looks like Dad thinks it’s fun!
What is Samsung Gear VR?
Samsung and Oculus drop you in the middle of the action…the combo of select Samsung Phones and Samsung Gear VR lets you:
- Watch movies in your own private cinema
- Be at the center of your favorite games
- Socialize with friends in a virtual world all your own.
Is the Samsung Gear VR easy to use?
When you want to escape to a virtual world, all you have to do is snap your Galaxy smartphone into your Samsung Gear VR. Developed in partnership with Oculus, Gear VR is completely portable, comfortable to wear and simple to set up. The lightweight design and intuitive touchpad drop you right in the action and allow for hours of immersive entertainment.
Samsung Gear VR is great for Early Tech Adopter Dad Gifts

This does seem like it would be a lot of fun to have and use but I am wondering down the

This is awesome! I’ve been very interested in the Virtual reality lately. It’s so neat and crazy how far technology has gone. VR can be used for training in so many instances. I think I will have to invest in this soon.
