Test Gear Samsung Galaxy S6 VR: Virtual Reality of … – PC World

Samsung Gear VR virtual reality goggles that
  use of computing power, screen and sensors
 smartphone
. As a result, their price may be maintained at
 a lower level of competition, and holders of appropriate model
 the phone are able to enjoy the virtual reality for some
 750, respectively.

The first generation VR Gear collaborated exclusively with Samsung Galaxy Note
 4
. Described here is the second version
  designed to work with Samsung Galaxy S6
 and his counterpart with a curved screen. It is of course quite big
 limit, because it is not worth rather spend a total of almost 4,000
 gold only for experiences from the virtual
 reality. Brushing aside financial issues, after dealing with
 VR gear but I can confidently say that this is very interesting
 equipment for all owners of new flagship Samsung.

Convenience

To enter the world of virtual reality, just
  stick smartphone in goggles and put them on the head .
 The device is relatively comfortable, especially in comparison with
 the previous version. The second generation is characterized by reduced
 size and weight, and much more contoured strap
 mounting on the head.

 We find goggles, a set of instructions and cloth to
 wiping

The equipment comes with touch panel, reversing button and
 knob for adjusting the focus
, each of which
 the user will have to use quite regularly. Nice touch
 a USB port that allows you to load connected
 goggles smartphone
because VR applications consume very
 a lot of energy.

 Indeed

Even after long sessions with no VR Gear I experienced
 no nausea
or dizziness, which very positively
 It surprised me. I did not see any problem with overheating
 smartphone, which was an apparently common problem with VR Gear
 Galaxy Note 4. Indeed – the phone quite quickly gets warm,
 but the temperature does not cause anxiety, and software by
 continues to run very smoothly.

Software

After you insert your smartphone goggle is activated automatically
 Oculus VR application. It’s very convenient to use the center
 command, in which the charge and turn on more applications.
  Navigation after it is done using head movements and
 Touch Panel
. To my liking is that the background for
 menu interface is the interior of the house, after which we can freely
 around.

 breathless

Software goggles but it has one very serious flaw -
  you can not go off in any way. In Store
 Google will find many applications for other goggles
 VR, even if Cardboard boxes. Unfortunately Gear VR we can not
 use them at least by conventional methods -
 Oculus VR starts running immediately after you connect your smartphone to
 USB connector goggles and excludes other running applications.
  I was able to remedy this simply upholding hands
 Galaxy S6 with goggles
without docking, but that’s not the
 This comes …

Perhaps this type of approach would be acceptable were it not for the fact
  Oculus that the shop is still poor. We find
 it only a few dozen items, among which run so
 Yet obvious as an attendant spherical movies
 YouTube
, or the famous, causing went mad labyrinth
 roller coasters.

Impressions

If someone had never had to deal with virtual
 a reality, really hard to describe the feeling accompanying him
 Gear’ve VR. Before the eyes can see only the image of
 goggles surrounded by a thin frame.
You can freely up
 looking around, and some applications use 3D effects
, which
 additionally enhances the illusion of being in another world.
  Almost every program available in the shop Oculus raises
 admiration
and thoughts type of “is a technology as yet
 from science fiction movies, “
.

It is worth checking, for example, a fragment of Paul McCartney’s concert.
 High-quality surround sound and a 360-degree view of the cameras
 placed on the stage create an amazing illusion of being in
 the middle of the event. Tools are worthy of interest
 at least a dozen – interactive movie The Avengers, in
 which takes on the role of Iron Man’s shocking efektownością, and
 sniffing us out of Jurassic dinosaur world you can really
 scare
.

 length films prepared for VR

The library catalog Oculus will also find a number of spherical
 video presenting points of interest, as well as simple games or
  simulator sensational Oculus Cinema movie theater, in which
 We can watch movies from our smartphone.
This last
 application has some advantages over most other – draws
 really for long. With virtual seat multiplex watching
 video on seemingly huge screen. If I had to Gear VR every day
 and wyposażyłbym in an adequate supply of popcorn, probably would use
 Cinemy regularly.



The quality of the displayed image

The quality of the image displayed on the seemingly little to find fault -
 when excited watching a video spherical or turn on a new game,
 We do not pay more attention to detail. Gear VR fulfill their
 job and provide us with sufficient, virtual reality
 a level that very much caught up in it.

The use of VR gear, however, still accompanied by minor ills.
 The screen is very close to our eyes, in addition to its
 The original resolution is divided by two, because the
 reaches each eye a slightly different picture. Samsung QHD display
 S6 Galaxy smartphones first league, but while playing with
 it is not difficult goggles us to see individual pixels.

 Compared to the previous version Gear VR image quality slightly
 increased since the Galaxy S6 has a higher density of pixels with
 inch. Because of the smaller screen while minimally affected
 the width of the field of view, but it is unimportant trifle.

 Galaxy smartphone S6

The problem could be a suitable fit for
 Focus. As part of the application image is blurred
 regardless of what we do with the dial, and sometimes even if
 view right before our eyes is clear, the angles of the display
 image anymore.

Summary

The new version Gear VR still has named Innovator Edition and should be
 with this in mind. It works well as an interesting gadget
 a few days of fun or thing to make a show friends
 impress them.
The technology is not yet
 perfect, and the small number of available games, applications and videos do not
 encourages everyday use.

Samsung Gear VR S6 device with a huge
 potential
, to the clearly better than its predecessor. Despite
 that its purchase become true meaning only when it
 potential finally begin to be used en masse by the creators
 applications and multimedia content providers. VR gear even asks
 for feature films spherical and more complex games, but how
 So far it’s still only a dream.
