And - VR aficionados take note - just because Oculus helped design the Gear VR doesn't mean that your PC-based Oculus Rift games will be playable here, and vice versa - there's very little software crossover, although your Oculus account is the same and there are a growing set of intercommunicating functions.and a few apps like Minecraft that will play nicely together. The aesthetics of virtual reality are still evolving and hard to figure out without trying some stuff. And your taste in VR games and apps might not be the same as mine. Some games are well worth it (like Anshar Wars, Minecraft or Neverout) others feel buggy and low-quality.

Many apps cost anywhere from $1 to $10, and it's hard to vet out the quality. There are hundreds of apps and games, and so many types of streaming-video experiences via apps like Oculus Video, Within, Jaunt and others, that the amount of things to do seems inexhaustible.

Oculus and Samsung - the headset is a joint venture - have steadily continued updating the software and app library in Gear VR. I said 'the same,' but that's not really true at all. A larger touchpad, and two buttons instead of one: small differences, but comfy ones.
