Head-mounted display – a funny thing. When you look at a presentation, it seems that no one needs garbage. And then you realize yourself slugger from friends or relatives who are trying to steal it from your own head. By itself, the design points not represent anything new. And unique in the market today is more than enough: cardboard glasses from Google – Cardboard, innovative points of Russian production Fibrum, own development partner in the project Samsung Gear VR company Oculus Rift, etc. And the mechanics of these products is as simple as ass baby: take some design with lenses complement device that will act as a screen, and we need more content. And usually, the whole ambush in this very last paragraph. Because to do content – expensive. Make good content regularly – insanely expensive. Well, if this is a serious content, not demo with roller coasters and something similar. But for the sake of “slides” no one will spend even $ 200, and it is so much worth helmet Samsung Gear VR.

Samsung – the company rich, and with the resources it has no problem. The question of the content has been resolved simply – run services Samsung Milk. There you can find a special way shot sports, TV shows, and more. It’s all available to spectators from a limited list of countries, among which Russia is not included. So that’s it, boys, disagree.
In fact, there is also a local service implemented by Oculus. There you can find a variety of demos, short videos, music videos and more. More than enough to evaluate the device’s capabilities.
The key element – the one that will receive the image. In principle, any technical limitations for technology is not here – the only question in comfort and in specific dimensions of the helmet. In general, the smaller the pixels – the better. From this point of view the screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and a Quad HD-resolution which have Note 4 – optimal. Pixel density – 515 dpi. In the version for Galaxy S6 will be even steeper, where higher pixel density – 577 dpi, but this device is only provided for MWC-2015 in early March, and when it will arrive in our country is not known. So learn what there is today.
The device comes in an unusual the rounded plastic case. It houses the glasses themselves, there is a place for Phablet Galaxy Note 4 if you suddenly decide to buy this gadget specifically for working with Gear VR.
Points made in the plastic housing of black and white colors and equipped with a special bracket for fixing on the head. It consists of a rubberized belts with plastic inserts responsible for the adjustment of the length.
The main body has a button setting dial and touch panel. Button and touch pad are responsible for menu navigation and management interface. Click Wheel – for setting the lens. Use it to adjust the helmet so that it was comfortable to use any person with vision quality. Can you believe it – me, a man with a -4 on both eyes. As an accessory, you can get a special joystick for navigation within the three-dimensional projection, but in our case it was not.
The image quality is very decent, affects the quality of the display with a high pixel density, and quality of content. It is not perfect – still noticeable pixelation, so I want to believe that all SGS6 version will be better. The package is available Oculus few spots with views of wildlife, some very cool videos. Excellent video with the show Cirque du Soleil, bringing a fully immersive show and see it from the inside, and much more.
Motion sensors work flawlessly, resulting in a completely immersive virtual world: head turns, slopes, views up and down – just great.
It is important to note that the system is on the verge of a foul – this is evident in Just as quickly Note 4 begins to warm up. It happens literally 5-7 minutes after the start browsing. As a result – the battery sits down immediately, the full charge lasts for an hour and a half of continuous viewing.
What we got as a result? Perhaps the first user device does this type. It is easy and comfortable to wear – no pressure on the head, neck, and does not get tired. It is unfortunate that Gear VR so tightly tied to a particular device and can only be used with the Note 4. Let the price themselves points and $ 200, but complete with Note 4 cost of the set flies in sky-high given the level of 70 thousand rubles, which forces only your favorites. Especially as the content until a cat laugh.
