The launch of GearVR, has been the cornerstone of Samsung’s new tech model, and up until now we have seen quite a lot of interesting launches. These will be covered in an article later this week. Look forward to it.

Speaking of which. One of the more intriguing apps we have seen is the recent Bedtime Stories VR. In collaboration with BBH London, Samsung has launched an ad promoting the product. The concept behind Bedtime Stories is to allow busy, remote parents to stay in touch with their children by connecting with them on Virtual Reality in time for bedtime stories.

Here’s the video for your viewing pleasure:

GearVR packs a lot of awesome apps. These include wildly impressive applications such as StreetView VR, where you can actually walk around in Google Earth locations in real time in Virtual Reality. Samsung Internet, where you can browse the web in VR, Virtual NetFlix and VRSE.
