So, this may not be the place to ask. But i will be considering buying the new VR onces my Note 7 arrives. But....I dont actually know what i can do with it. I have seen them and watched a demo video in one, but thats it. Someone above mentioned watching Netflix in it? How does that work? Are you watching a tv show in 360?
Can someone give me a little dot point idea of what things are possible with a VR headset?
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm debating getting the new (2016) Gear VR to use with my Note 7, but haven't used Gear VR before. This forum doesn't seem to have much on Gear VR, and most posters seem to direct people to vrhead's forum.
From what I understand (and I may be interpreting this wrong) the image displayed on the screen through the Gear VR (on the phone) will be of you in a surrounding of your choice (with different options depending on what program you are using). In one instance you may be sitting in a movie theater, another in a high-end living room with large tv, a beach, or whatever place you have chosen with a screen somewhere in the picture displaying the video you intend to watch. In other cases it can make the the entire screen (of whatever you are watching) take up the entire view-able area of your goggles.
Here are a couple of Gear VR links people seem to point to:
Everything you need to know about Samsung Gear VR | VRHeads
VRHeads Forum
Samsung Gear VR - VRHeads Forum
Buying a Gear VR - VRHeads Forum
Guessing whatever case people are using on their phones (if any) they have to take off the phone before they attach it to the Gear VR. (Also wonder how screen protectors effect the viewing experience).
I'm kind of surprised Samsung doesn't have any promotion going for people that pre-order their new Gear VR? (Where's the incentive to buy one Sumsung?)
