Samsung Announces Virtual Reality Device With Oculus Tech

September 3, 2014

Samsung and Oculus Rift (newly owned by Facebook) have announced a Samsung-made virtual reality headset called "Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition" which uses the Galaxy Note 4's mobile GPU and CPU.

"Over the last 12 months, we've been collaborating with Samsung on the future of mobile virtual reality," said Oculus Chief Technology Officer John Carmack. "The mobile team at Oculus were able to blow everyone away in an extremely short amount of time, quickly proving that we were on to something special."

I guess this means Oculus and Samsung expect people to wander the streets with their virtual reality headsets on. I can only imagine the traffic accidents. In fact, I'm wearing an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset right now and I just stubbed my toe on everything ever created.

Dammit! I'm taking this off.
