Wear it with ease and comfort

It's easy to get lost in the world of virtual reality because the Gear VR is engineered to feel lighter than it actually is. It's also designed to feel comfortable no matter your facial structure, while the foam cushioning offers a natural hold as it blocks light from seeping in.

Control comes naturally

Use the Gear VR controller as a remote control to navigate your virtual reality with ease or use it as a gamepad complete with trigger to win battles. The controller's shaped to be used naturally with one hand.

It's a clearly superior virtual reality experience with the wide 101° field of view through the large lens and the smooth and precise head tracking via the built-in gyro sensor and accelerometer.
