Got mine for the note 4 two days ago. Had my note 4 for a few months now.
Welcome to the forum and VR!
4. obviously this is petty but if there were some sort of motion tracking so the system knows my heads depth into something. having the ability to lean into and look over down and underneath a desk or peer around corners would make the whole thing so much more immersive.
I agree. That would help.
Have you tried the Protocol Zero game (one of my favorites)? It has this ability. You can peek around a corner by leaning your head forward. It's a pretty cool effect.
So I think it's possible with the Gear VR, at least give it a try in some of the apps and see if the developer took the time to implement it.
Oh and also I took some 360 photos on my recent vacation. before I got the VR and literally.... chills. I think when you are the one taking the picture and know what it is really like there. Then the 360 photo really brings you right back to that place. like a dream where time has stopped. it is totally wicked.
I highly recommend if you go anywhere cool. do the surround photosphere on you phone.
That's a great recommendation to keep in mind. I just had vacation a few weeks ago and should have done this. Bummer. Next time.
This makes me very excited for the future. I immageine in 5 yrs all of the above will be resolved and then some. as long as people are working on it. Which they will not if the market does not support this. so I (the market) am proud to support (Spend my hard earned cash on) this.
Sorry for the extra long post. I am very new to forums. forgive me.
Welcome again, no need to apologize. I'm glad you posted here. Hope you post back much more about your VR experience in the coming weeks as you try more apps.
I agree. For the first commercially available VR HMD, Gear VR set the bar really high and it only gets better from here.
I'm excited for the future of VR too!
