Late last year Samsung introduced the Gear VR, a relatively affordable virtual reality headset that uses select devices from the company to provide users with an immersive experience. When the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge were unveiled back in March, Samsung also announced the revamped Gear VR Innovator Edition for its new flagship handsets. After opening up pre-orders last month Samsung is now selling the headset online in the United States directly and through Best Buy.
The Gear VR Innovator Edition for Galaxy S6 and S6 edge uses the brilliant display on the new handsets to provide a much more improved virtual reality experience, aided by the reduced size, redesigned straps and improved airflow courtesy of a built-in fan. Users will find the headset more comfortable to wear than ever before because of these improvements. Those who are interested and are based in the United States can now purchase one directly from Samsung and Best Buy for $199.99. The headset will become available in-store on May 15th.
