this video was brought to you by NCIX great technology selections and service hello everyone I'm Dimitri with Haruka knucks and Samsung gear VR is really meant to hit two birds with one stone first to show off the truly mobile of virtual reality ecosystem while walking to one truly amazing smartphone the note for Samsung really is expanding their reach towards mobile tech and this is a more fancy and device specific headgear that's very similar to what we saw with Google cardboard VR headset so the way it works is you insert the Galaxy Note 4 and this currently will only work with a note 4 and perhaps later expand to support multiple devices with a handset in place there's an additional plastic cover for aesthetics of course and since the speaker is on the back side of the handset it helps to bounce the audio with pretty impressive audible immersion however you are able to still plug in headphones for private enjoyment by no means this is a new design it's very similar if not almost identical to what we've seen from oculus rift with two lenses for that three-dimensional feel and in fact Samsung has actually teamed up with oculus who have developed this headset and the software there's a wheel up top to adjust lens distance so how close your eyes are to the display unfortunately it didn't seem like there's any clearance for glasses on the right side there's a back button touch pad and the phone control and since it's fully powered by a smartphone it's completely wireless and does not require any external setup aside from installing the applications on the note 4 and it's the resolution and pixel density of the note 4 that allows this to operate quite well with really awesome immersion and various applications from PR gaming to fear like movie experiences I played a quick adventure game that really puts you in a total different setting that's all powered by a phone with a pleasant sense of scale of course there are limitations on the type of gaming from the smartphone you can she've and also the Android ecosystem but we have already seen half life to pour it onto Android and many other cool titles in the works for the Android ecosystem that would really help to drive this virtual reality on the truly mobile device they've managed to reduce head movement latency to 20 milliseconds which is almost instantaneous and very accurate to even slight head movements that helps to you know bring that immersion feeling I still do think it's way too bulky of a device to be used on the regular basis and you know I would love to see something more simple something more compact but they have managed to create a good-looking headset that is also comfortable so that's a plus and as soon as we see a larger array of higher resolutions phones on the market this will become a very popular way to enjoy VR directly from your smartphone so what do you guys think of this design and for potential notes for users will you consider a gear VR to complement the overall usability of your phone and what are you thoughts on the exclusivity of the gear VR to the note 4 and as always thanks for watching make sure you're subscribed for more similar content and we'll see you in the next you
