Samsung Gear VR With Controller And Gear 360 (2017) Gallery

Samsung has yet another Gear VR headset, but while this new virtual reality rig may coincide with the new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, it does more than just ensure compatibility with the latest phones. The new Gear VR includes a Gear VR Controller powered by Oculus, a Bluetooth remote that supports 3-degree-of-freedom motion tracking. It opens the door to new games and apps which support hand-tracking.

Samsung will include the new Gear VR with Controller with preorders of the Galaxy S8 and S8+. It will also sell the Gear VR Controller itself separately, for those who already have the virtual reality headset.

Meanwhile, there's a new version of the Gear 360 camera. Updated for 2017 with true 4K video capture, the redesigned Gear 360 now integrates a stand rather than the older model's detachable tripod/handle. That allows the battery to be integrated into the base, and the whole thing is slimmer and easy to transport. It will livestream video at up to 2K via a compatible Android phone.
