Obviously its Samsung guys.
the Quality of the product is good.
The Gear VR runs a version of Oculus Home that is extremely similar to the Oculus Rift. Here you will find your games, movies and apps that you select with the touch pad on the side. When you want to quit a game, there is a back button on the side that you press to open up the menu.
You control the Gear VR headset primarily with the touch-sensitive D-pad on its right side. It also uses head tracking so you can move a cursor just by tilting your head up and down then confirming your selection by tapping the center of the D-pad. These controls are simple and come second nature. Most people figure out how to operate the headset in less than five minutes of use. Some games require the use of a controller which can be paired to your smartphone via Bluetooth. A controller will run you around extra, though

Virtual reality may be more accessible than ever, but it’s still quite pricey. Enter the Samsung Gear VR headset. This virtual reality headset lets you delve into new gaming worlds and 360-degree videos all for less than a hundred bucks.

There’s one catch though – the Gear VR requires a Samsung smartphone, more specifically the Galaxy S7, S7 edge, Note5, S6 and S6 edge. Samsung recently released a newer Gear VR that also supports the Note7. If you don’t have one of these smartphones or you use an iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Phone or any other Android device, you are out of luck. That is unless you decide to purchase a Samsung smartphone in addition to the headset, which would almost be as pricy as the better and more powerful Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets. But it’s a definite must-have for Samsung smartphone owners.
Hardware
The Gear VR headset was created in a partnership with Oculus. It’s light, compact and feels much more durable than other budget VR headsets that rely on your smartphone’s display. Just pop off the front plastic cover, slip in your Galaxy phone and adjust the straps on the side to get a tight fit. During testing we found that the lenses for the headset can occasionally get dusty so you may want to keep a microfiber cloth handy to get the clearest picture.
The Gear VR doesn’t have the same image quality as more expensive VR headsets, but rest assured the experience is still mind blowing. Whether you are virtually riding a wave, being chased by zombies or on a rollercoaster, this headset will make you grin ear-to-ear and cause your jaw to drop. We watched concerts, a Cirque du Soleil performance, 360-degree video blogs and an entire season of Bates Motel in VR. We used the headset outside, in bed and even in an airplane.

Some games require the use of a controller which can be paired to your smartphone via Bluetooth. A controller will run you around $20 extra, though.
Games and Experiences
For consuming videos, the Gear VR is a game changer, especially if you have a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Samsung developed its own video app that has multiple viewing modes. Void mode is perfect for lying in bed. It simply puts a floating image directly in front of your eyes. In Ant Mode, you essentially feel like an extra on Honey I Shrunk the Kids. A Samsung phone placed in the grass serves as your movie screen
