2014-09-03
ladies and gentlemen here is most innovative most exciting samsung gear vr we design gr big gear vr especially for innovative consumers and developers who with the support of Samsung will move virtual reality to the bold next new level so all you need to do is you put your note for writing like like we did and you put on the headset just like you did and now you're ready to go anywhere now I'm singing this for the first time so I'm just going to describe hopefully there's something like well I'm so behind us we could six people here you're gonna have women in a tutu no one said that voice I've got a couple of acrobats in front of me and it's like I'm in a theater it's like I'm there because I can turn around now all I'm watching is out to season in fact and they're carrying on I mean it's incredible a completely mobile VR is a magical thing you can pick it up and take it with you you can put it on and then turn completely 360 degrees in the virtual world but it's a hard problem to do well and we need to bring a lot of different technologies to bear on this so one of the biggest ones is the samsung Super AMOLED display the I unlike an LCD panel which can take 10 or 20 milliseconds to change pixel state the super-mo LEDs can turn on and off almost instantly this lets us light up a pixel and then turn it off a fraction of a frame later which lets us kill motion blur now these screenings are such high resolution that there was a lot of skepticism about what level of graphics we would be able to render at the consistent rates necessary for virtual reality but Samsung has gotten us very low level access to the hardware platform here and this has enabled us to develop an innovative software architecture that can continue to maintain smooth accurate updates from the head tracking even when the system is actually overloaded
