Have you tried the 99USD accessory to Samsung phones called the ‘GearVR’?

While everyone discusses the success/failure of Oculus Rift, the GearVR headset offers you ‘telepresence’ social experiences today. And if you haven’t tried them, I highly recommend to try. Preferably with your friends or loved ones.

The sense of ‘togetherness’ is incomparable to anything out there. The only issue is that you have to try it to feel it.

This will change how remote teams do morning stand-up meetings and how families communicate while being apart.

Using a 99USD accessory to your phone. And it all works today in basic implemenations.

It’s not about the AAA gaming titles for the Rift.

It’s about the sense of connection with other people that can’t be achieved with any other tech. This will take VR mainstream.
