"The Samsung GearVR is a virtual reality headset developed by Samsung & Oculus that runs off a Samsung smartphone.
It is typically used to view virtual reality games, videos & photos.GearVR is compatible with Samsung Galaxy devices (Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge+, Galaxy S7/S7 Edge or Galaxy Note 7) which act as the headset's display and processor, while the Gear VR unit itself acts as the controller. The rotational tracking of GearVR is more accurate and well calibrated with lower latency than internal smartphone IMUs, such as those used for Google Cardboard."
