Samsung Gear VR - It's Awesome

Many of you may have seen the advertisement for Samsung Gear VR.  It is a virtual reality headset that works with certain Samsung Phones.  You buy the select games from the Oculus store and you are off in 3D land.  I am personally an Iphone user, so the Samsung phone requirement was a bug for me, but one that is somewhat reasonable to overcome.  After a couple of days of searching on Craigslist for somebody wanting to rid themselves of a Samsung Note 5, 6/6S, 7 or 7 Edge, I found a 6S.  The experience is awesome, scary good to be honest.  My son plays Minecraft and he is still trying to cope with actually being in the Minecraft world for real.  I tried Smash Hit and a game called Jump.  Jump is quite simple, you jump from rooftop to rooftop, but doing it in 3D is a bit unnerving, at times I felt like I was really falling.  In short, the experience is awesome.  A few notes for those who will take the plunge, the Gear VR headset is $100, many games require a game controller, so you will need to buy a bluetooth game controller.  The Steel Series controller for Android is exceptional, and will set you back another $60.  For the games, you will have to buy the games from the Oculus store, as those are made for the Gear VR.  The headset requires no power, it functions off the power of the phone.  In short, it is legit and great to play.  Have fun and dive in!
