Above the touchpad is a back button, which has been relocated slightly to the right for easier accessibility, while a volume rocker is located to the front.
#Vr supported devices plus
It's much more contoured than previous Gear VR models plus there's a raised center nub, which makes the whole thing far easier to use - you can just feel your way around to figure out the controls. Though it seems like the headset's use is limited to just these four phones, Samsung told us that it's highly likely the current Gear VR could be compatible with future Samsung phones too.īy default, controls are relegated to the four-way directional touchpad on your right temple. Since the latter two phones are slightly larger than the others, the Gear VR has a toggle that you can use to slide the micro-USB dock to the left or right to accommodate the different sizes. At least for now, the Gear VR is compatible with four different Samsung phones: the Galaxy S6, the S6 Edge, the S6 Edge+ and the Note 5. Simply dock the phone into a micro-USB dock on the left and then lock it in place with a plastic holder on the right. To get started, you'll have to snap the phone onto the front of the Gear VR so that the display faces the headset's stereoscopic lenses. Except that unlike Cardboard, the Gear VR has additional hardware - an accelerometer, a gyroscope and proximity-based sensors - on board to reduce latency and increase the performance overall. Like all the previous Gear VRs, the new model is not a standalone headset - it's essentially a VR viewer for your phone sort of a fancier version of Google's Cardboard, if you will. Plus, the Gear VR has a focus wheel at the top so you can easily adjust the focus to match your eyesight. That said, if you have a relatively lightweight prescription, you might want to go without your glasses entirely for additional comfort. Another upside is that new Gear VR also easily accommodates most glasses - I was able to wear mine without too much shifting around. The soft foam padding around the eyes and the nose bridge makes the fit very comfortable (My discomfort came from nausea instead more on that later).
The fit, by the way, is pretty excellent. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
