The latest version
of the Gear VR headset only works with Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. It's a
$200 device (about £115 or AU$230) aimed at developers who are interested in
taking the plunge into smartphone-based virtual reality.
There's
a Micro-USB port on the bottom of the headset but it won't actually
charge the phone -- it'll just keep the battery from draining, so you can keep
playing for as long as you're willing to be tethered.
The headset is powered by software built by
Oculus, the Facebook-owned VR company that makes the Oculus Rift. You'll be able to purchase apps and games from an Oculus app store.
