2014-09-07
yeah definitely that was on hey it's Josh regard from android authority what's going on everybody and I'm here playing with the Samsung gear VR now do going to is there a better now obviously we have the gear VR with the note 4 and you saw a clip of that already is I'm going to go ahead and get this thing on just adjusting the velcro straps on the side and I mean you Avengers area for this where we have the Tony Stark lab from Iron Man and here's what it looks like now we have a back button over here with a touchpad which is what you're going to use the control bunch of the interface but right now I'm kicking it with Jarvis and right now looking at Tony Starks lab and you see over here we don't really have anything but we do have the oculus icon right there now I'm going to start looking around hopefully I'm going to be still pointing at the camera once this is over but if I talk a little weird on the other side it's all right so we have the heads up display so this is the closest you're going to feel to Iron Man which is obviously the reason why I picked this area but what I'm doing right now is looking throughout the entire lab right now and there are a lot of different items that are being shown and everything just kind of comes up it has a very nice display to it in the terms of you know things kind of come in and out of your field of view and you really do get a sense of the depth of field from here it is virtual reality after all here's captain america shield coming up right up close to me it's like right here in front of me and have all this information on this side right here telling me we show how to knit this is pretty cool but you can tell me in the comments how this looks like and that Oh city code and i'm over on the side and that was the presentation the the avengers type of application looking at Tony Starks lab and that is the Samsung gear VR now these are obviously special editions made for these presentations I don't know if you're going to actually get this version of the gear VR with the plate on the front like this and actually luckily I was able to get a closer look at the gear VR and here it is we have the cover that has been taken off but that's because I wanted to show you the connection in order to put the gear or rather the note for it was easier so you take off the cover right here just this little visor that's available and here is a galaxy note 4 that I have in my hands and what you'll see on the corner over here that I'm sliding this into is the micro USB port that will then go right into the device and then snap right into the gear VR and from there that you put the visor back on and then the high resolution AMOLED screen becomes the display for this actual entire piece of device now this is a more or less what you're going to be seeing in the gear VR this is the actual unit that'll probably be going on sale not that iron man one that I was using that the Avengers booth but yeah this is the gear VR right here and you have you have the as I was saying before you have the back button and the little touch pad area and on the other side not really anything except the icons for the gear and oculus now the straps are also adjustable as you saw me adjusting in the previous clip and they are adjustable for any number of different sizes of people's heads up from there we have the just top part which will rest right on top of your head and in a way it's going to kind of scrunch down your hair a little bit but that's alright but this is the entirety of the Samsung gear VR I just want to give you a closer look at it and also actually before I forget here is the here's the here's the dial that will allow you to change the magnification and basically the how close the phone is to your actual eyes so that is the Samsung gear VR here at Android Authority just wanted to give you another closer
