Gear VR Headset Brand New

Brand New! $60 obo. Gear Vr with Controller - A mobile virtual reality headset, developed with Oculus, that used a compatible Samsung smartphone as its screen and processor to deliver immersive VR experiences like games, 360° videos, and virtual movies, featuring a controller for intuitive interaction, though it's now discontinued but offers a unique way to access older VR content. It was popular for its accessibility and affordability as a phone accessory, offering features like a 101° field of view and integration with the Oculus platform.

Motion Controller: Later versions included a handheld controller for pointing, grabbing, and navigating, adding intuitive movement. Sensors: Integrated sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope) tracked head movement for immersion. Content: Users could play games (like Minecraft), watch 360° videos (Milk VR), and experience virtual events. History & Status Launch: First released in 2015. Successor: Followed by devices like the Oculus Go, noted on Wikipedia. Discontinuation: Samsung stopped selling the Gear VR in 2019, marking the end of its production.
