Oculus and Samsung have already made together Gear VR, virtual reality device for the Galaxy Note 4. Well, it seems that this association is not going to end, as the CEO of Oculus, Brendan Iribe, said they will continue working together to create new devices. “We will work closely with Samsung to develop more products”, confirmed the director of Oculus at a technology summit in Seoul.

The truth is not surprising, since all we imagined they would continue working together, but the truth is we did not have official confirmation. Moreover, this suggests that could be making a virtual reality device, similar to Gear VR. Although not yet have any data about it, we assume that enhance the features that comprise this device.

“We launched the Gear VR this year Samsung’s hand, and I’m sure we will continue working with them,” said Iribe. these two companies would create a second generation of Gear VR for Galaxy S6, its future flagship, which is expected to occur in 2015.

At the moment, we have to settle on the original product. These virtual reality goggles not only allow users to play games, but it also can be used to watch movies for immersive, ie, as if you were inside the screen. Within the structure of the display, various sensors have been incorporated and all these characteristics to achieve sensations transmitted.

Specifically, the device comes with an accelerometer and a gyroscope that help detect any movement made by the user with his head. For example, if the consumer decides to move forward, you will advance in the game while doing so backward, backward. Thus, both companies have made the experience is totally immersive. It also comes with a magnetic sensor and a proximity that detect the Galaxy Note 4 as well as other actions of the terminal.

Because of these characteristics, the glasses have a latency of 20 microsecond’s slightest movement. This means that the reaction time and the images are moved, they are almost on par with the player. This provides the user with a feeling that we’ll be in the game.

But not only that . If you want to have surround sound, you’ll need headphones that enhance the 3D Spatial Sound technology. Also, to make it more comfortable for the consumer, the gadget uses microUSB 1.1 port of Mobile for the two devices remain connected.
