Sure, for under 100 bucks you aren’t guaranteed the same level of immersion as you’d expect with the Rift, but it’s a nifty, low-cost sample of the future.Īnd you don’t have to know the first thing about PC specs in order to use one. The Gear VR, on the other hand, is affordable for anyone with one of the compatible Galaxy smartphones at $99. But when you factor in the need for an extremely powerful PC, that price point suddenly skyrockets. The Rift is an expensive piece of hardware on its own, running a $599 price tag. This one’s up to personal preference mostly, but I’m more interested in the prospect of the Rift to go back and play games like Half-Life 2 and Dying Light with an immersive new atmosphere as opposed to a few select glorified mobile games.

No, the more well-known software rests in the hands of the Rift. While Gear VR is host to some assuredly innovative indie offerings, games like House of Languages and Blind Swordsman aren’t exactly household names. The software catalogue, as you can imagine, is much more capable of delivering familiar content on the Rift. While the Gear VR presents a fair challenge to the Rift in terms of resolution, as you can imagine, an Ultra HD image exhibited from a 6-inch smartphone will likely pale in comparison, and graphics performance is limited by smartphone hardware. The Oculus is a clearcut winner here, offering up two integrated OLED displays, bolstered by an accumulated 2160 x 1200 pixel crystal clear image and buttery smooth 90Hz refresh rate. Performance-wise, the Oculus and Gear VR are two different beasts. The matte finish might serve better than the Gear VR at resisting scratches, but it doesn’t save the Oculus from the uncomfortable stares you’ll assuredly get while donning the display. Though the final design we see below has iterated significantly on the previous dev kit’s design and certainly bears a more pleasing aesthetic than the one before that, it’s still hard to ignore how bulky it looks, even if it does promise a weight under 380 grams. On the other end of the spectrum, the Oculus Rift’s appearance isn’t exactly subtle. At least on the exterior, it’s the perfect complement to Samsung’s mobile devices, which is an appreciated touch considering it works so closely in conjunction with the Galaxy Note 5 and the trio of Galaxy S6 handsets. There’s no denying how trendy this thing looks, even if the whole concept of fashionable VR is completely foreign to us right now. While neither option is going to blow you away in terms of style, appearance-wise, Samsung has Oculus beat with its Gear VR headset.

PC with Windows 7 SP1 or newer, 8GB of RAM or more, Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater, Nvidia GeForce GTX 970/AMD 290 equivalent or greater Fitbit Versa 3Ģ160 x 1200 pixel, 90Hz built-in OLED displays Either way we might learn more at IFA 2015 so check back with us then for the details. Details of the device remain unknown and is a bit of a mystery for now, but perhaps the new Gear VR headset will play nicely with the Galaxy Note 5 and future Samsung devices. That being said Samsung had recently confirmed that they are working on a new Gear VR headset. Now it is possible that Samsung will need to create some kind of special tray to accommodate the Galaxy Note 5, which is what they did for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, but for now if you wanted a virtual reality experience, you’d either have to buy the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S6, or the S6 Edge. It has also been pointed out that there are no virtual reality-related apps available for the device either. Now you might be thinking it is odd that the Galaxy Note 5 won’t fit, especially since both the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy Note 4 share the display size, but chances are due to its difference design and specifications, it won’t be a perfect fit. According to a post on Reddit, it has been discovered that the Galaxy Note 5 won’t play nicely with the Gear VR. If you’re thinking that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and its huge high-resolution display would make for a perfect virtual reality experience, especially when paired with the4 Samsung Gear VR< think again.
