00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:10,320
having plenty of experience with oculus development kit 1 and recently acquiring

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,599
the development kit 2 i was quite excited to get some hands-on time with samsung's gear vr outside of the gear vr

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:19,920
unit we have a focus wheel on top allowing you to easily change focal distance on the fly a touch pad and back

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,320
button on the side which will serve as your built-in navigation tools a mounting plate in front which will allow

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,560
you to mount your note 4 device which will hopefully support more devices in the future and a speaker in the back

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:32,239
which i personally didn't really get to experience due to loud expo hall but is

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,800
probably okay but due to it being a phone it does offer bluetooth

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,719
functionality so you'll be able to connect a controller or in this case a

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,000
bluetooth headset to augment that functionality another thing to note is

11
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:45,440
that there are absolutely no cables attached to the unit which is fantastic

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,680
as you can now freely spin around in your chair without worrying about any cable snaps this is especially nice for

13
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:53,280
situations where the scene is playing out all around you instead of just in

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,640
front of you this freedom while great does not come without a cost however

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,440
you're now intimately tied to the note 4's 32 20 million power battery it's 2.7

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,559
gigahertz quad-core snapdragon 805 processor and three gigabytes of RAM

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,920
which will result in a limited duration of single session usage and a limited on

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,080
the device's performance for instance i don't expect you to be able to play elite dangerous or star citizen on this

19
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:17,759
thing but to give it credit you'll hopefully be able to play games like portal half-life and gta on it soon

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,360
along with the opportunity for samsung to partner with valve on a game

21
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,400
streaming app and while there's no information about that whatsoever

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,439
anywhere i do kind of hope it happens while they weren't able to directly talk

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,360
specs with me i doubt that apps available from oculus or samsung would

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,880
directly lower the potential resolution of the device and we should be getting a

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,079
similar overall experience in terms of low persistence to the oculus rift

26
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:42,400
development kit too considering that the oculus development team is making the

27
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:47,759
sdk for gear vr as well this bodes quite well for gear vr as the note 4 offers

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,280
its monstrous 2560 by 1440p display

29
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:53,280
which while i have very limited experience with it looks fantastic well

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,040
that's about it i hope we get one of these for the office so i can try it out

31
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,960
more extensively and let me know in the comments down below what you guys think

32
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:04,159
about this kind of nicer audio voiceover style show coverage thanks for watching

33
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:08,640
i'll see you guys next time subscribe to LTT for all of our ctia content and
