Samsung have them for their 4k fones

The S7? I got the S6 :0/

Yup, the s6 works with Gear VR. It'll set you back about 80 notes though.

you can get the cheapo ones from gear best

[slaw]

I got one of these too and they are stunning. The picture gallery is stunning. I also have a cheap one from gear best which is decent for the money, but as its a generic one, it needs a fair bit of fraffing about and it doesn't track your head as well and it essentially has worse controls. Also you can't use gear vr software but for little more than £6, it worth it

Bluefish ... just make sure there is someone else in the room with you, for emergency action, and don't have any breakables near you!

  Ooh...tell us more please 

[domejunky]

I ran a Planetarium at Plymouth University for about 7 years. It didn't really do stars. More Immersive Cinema. I developed software and processes for creating movies and real-time visualisations.

It was all super expensive stuff. I'm encouraged by the new breed of VR goggles coming out, and it's great to see it filtering down to people's living rooms.

I still do software development and consultancy in this field. So should mean more work for me...

Hey gill2009 are you going to get a pair of these!

There was a lengthier article on a certain other news site, but I didn't want to upset VapingBad so I looked for another

[gill2009]
