True the price of the Samsung Gear VR is cheap enough to unlock virtual reality for the mainstream, but it seems a little low.

Shown off at the Oculus Connect conference, Samsung VR works with the whole 2015 line of Samsung Smartphones including the Note 5, S6, S6 Edge, and S6 Edge+.
Compared to the $199 previous Gear VRs that only worked with fewer phones, this headset will be a lot more accessible.

The new Gear VR is 22 per cent lighter, making it more comfortable to wear. The trackpad on the temple of the headset also now has a tactile directional pad on it so your finger will know where it's touching.

There's also a new Gear VR Gamepad which has an Xbox-style dual-stick design.

Obviously the cheapness is because you will have to buy a Galaxy smartphone to make it work. So rather than seeing it as an entry level VR system, it is more of a Samsung accessory. It does give an excellent reason for a person to buy a Galaxy rather than an iPhone and it is the sort of thinking that we are surprised that Apple did not come up with.
