Samsung Odyssey

Samsung Odyssey+ Windows Mixed Reality Headset

Something mind-blowing happens when you merge two 3.5" AMOLED screens with a 3K display: an unbelievably realistic all-around view. The 110° viewing angle delivers a more fluid and immersive user experience as you glimpse your surroundings. With a new anti-Screen Door Effect technology that effectively delivers over twice the pixel count of the display resolution, you can expect a higher level of clear, crisp and seamless VR adventures.

Samsung Anti-SDE AMOLED Display solves SDE by applying a grid that diffuses light coming from each pixel and replicating the picture to areas around each pixel. This makes the spaces between pixels near impossible to see. In result, your eyes perceive the diffused light as part of the visual content, with a perceived PPI of 1,233PPI, double that of the already high 616PPI of the previous generation Samsung HMD Odyssey.

Thanks to built-in headphones, tuned by AKG, you’ll experience rich and dynamic 360° spatial sound, delivering audio so natural it feels like real life sounds are coming at you from all directions. The built-in microphone array lets you chat with teammates and control your PC with Cortana.

Samsung Gear VR Controller

It's hard to objectively explain how excited to feel about being able to access VR content designed for Smartphones, and to be able to feel, visualize and interact with it as if were content designed for High-end Computer + HMD; this and more offers the new Gear VR control, making primitive the traditional selection method. This is a huge step towards in user comfort since it involves to forget the selection methods directly from the headset, so having to execute tasks that are supposed to be simple (like typing) and had become a headache (specifically neck-pain). The GearVR Controller operation remembers HTC Vive control systems, and its use is much more simplified, which means that from now on it is possible to develop interactive content much more efficient, and to be able to offer a more comfortable user experience.

Honestly I think that the new Gear VR controller offers the perfect complement to any interactive experience for Virtual Reality, and also its smartphone link and operation is very simple which facilitates access to any type of user; but I'm sure that it will not replace the traditional game controllers (like "Stratus XL") whose design, use and function are widespread in the video game market and the younger population. From the VR developer point of view, this new control means a huge step forward to the Gear VR as a system, and facilitates the possibility to make developments for both High-end and Phone-based systems, which means a priceless contribution in this uncharted territory.

Pre-launch validation is an important step in preparing our apps for release. It’s vital that its performance be verified and its compatibility with the Samsung ecosystem be established. Validation services are provided by a Samsung team experienced in app and content testing and evaluation. Pre-launch validation is performed using a set of standard test cases, as well as app-specific test cases provided by the developer.

The certification ensure that our apps are successful on the Samsung device ecosystem.

Samsung Gear VR (2016)

Samsung Gear VR (2016) - SM-R323NBKAXAR - Virtual Reality Headset powered by Oculus.

Honestly think about improving something that is good in itself is no easy task, and this is the case of the "Samsung Gear VR" with its new model. The main reason that motivated me to opt for the new model (despite not have the inter-pupillar config option as "Homido" headset have) is that the first version of the Gear VR is designed for a small-scale face (IPD: 54 ~ 70 mm), this means that for people who have big face the "tunnel" effect increases.

In this new model the Field of View was increased to 101 degrees, beating the 96º of the first initial model; which means a considerable difference in visualization quality. An added value of the new Samsung Gear VR 2016 is the compatibility 100% with the "Gear 360" camera, which is an excellent complement for content development to this VR headset.

In few words the new model of Samsung Gear VR is the best choice of VR visualization for Samsung smartphones apps.
