To make it more confusing now that you've had a bunch of great answers, the line between them is not a hard, solid one. It's a continuum. You can have VR that interacts with the real world and you can have AR that replaces the real world. For example, there's an AR portal app on iPhone that...

I've seen them in Target recently, I believe. And yes, they are EXTREMELY easy to figure out. All you gotta do is download the app and follow the onscreen instructions.

Re: Win a PlayStation VR Skyrim Bundle from Android Central! Wonder if I'd be able to convince people to buy me a PS4 if I won this ... ;-)

I never got a chance to use that app. I meant to, though; depending on how well the videos are done, watching sports stuff in VR is awesome.

Actually, I do remember this now I read it. I had passed up on it because I don't have a portfolio or team, lol.

I didn't know about this fund. I'll have to go check it out, as I am still hoping to get something off the ground.

I don't have a Gear 360, though I would love to. Let us know if you figured it out. I'm sure there are others who've experienced it as well.

I think both have a great chance. I like VR a bit more, but AR is definitely more accessible. Even the $50 cheap phone we got for my son to do Pokemon Go with can do AR. Not sure it can do ARCore, but "regular" AR, sure. So in light of that, and in light of Apple's backing of AR (for now...

What's your favorite ARCore app right now? I know there's not nearly as many to choose from at this point as there are for ARKit, but now it's opened up to more phones, that'll change pretty quickly. In the meantime, what is a good, innovative or just plain cool app that you've tried out? My...

My current favorite is Wands on the Gear VR. It's available on Daydream, Rift and Vive also (and coming at some point to PSVR, I believe). It's a magic combat game involving different spells, maps (recently updated to include map hazards), etc. You teleport around and fire spells at each other...

I have one. I use it in phone mode mostly, but I have occasionally used it with my VR headset. It doesn't require the Merge AR headset per se.

Hello, everyone. I've been the Gear VR Champion over at VR Heads. That means I have one, and can answer questions about it. I don't know absolutely everything, but I will do my best to either find the answer or point you to where the answer might be. I've also used the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and...

The only thing that comes to mind is that maybe you're using a bluetooth headset? Gear VR has issues with bluetooth sometimes and it frustrates me because bluetooth is so much more convenient for me than wired headphones. Some apps work fine, while others don't; the ones that don't usually have...

Just discovered mine is cracked. Was applying a screen protector to it and saw the crack. Not sure what I can do about it given it was a (used) gift from my brother-in-law last year. I don't know if I qualify for replacement directly from Moto or if I'd need to go through my brother-in-law...

Just checked my status using the link provided above. Says Gifts of the Season is "in route," but the Best Buy and Samsung.com offers couldn't be redeemed because I'd already redeemed a Samsung offer (Netflix and the T-Mobile rebate). I cry bull, but whatever. Their promotion, their decision...
