Tech Review: A 3D Look into Gear VR and Oculus
Gear VR is a headset with an optional controller that is in partnership with Oculus and Samsung. The hardware works in connection with software available via the Oculus Store. After experiencing Google Cardboard and YouTube 360 content, I wanted to take the next step in virtual reality without investing too much into the platform. When the Galaxy S8+ was on pre-order, I was able to connect with a deal that provided a free headset and controller. Samsung currently has the product available for $130 before taxes (with the controller). Which is a fair price in comparison to the other virtual
Oculus and Samsung release a Series of new Virtual Reality Titles for Gear VR
Samsung and Oculus is working together to provide over 20 new virtual reality projects to Gear VR.

The Facebook F8 Conference Lacks to Deliver Innovative New Products
The first day to the Facebook F8 Conference was held today. Overall I felt it lacked focus at demoing new products to get people excited about upcoming developments within the company. "We're making the camera the first Augmented Reality Platform." - Mark Zuckerberg The conference did shine light on social interaction within virtual reality. The Social VR application launched today on beta. Overall it looks cute, but has a lot of work to be done before it has a definable purpose. One major flaw I see in virtual reality shared experiences in general is compatibility. Users will need to have
