What virtual reality will the new Samsung Galaxy Gear VR take you?

    Can you imagine yourself jumping out of a helicopter, having a front row seat to one of your favorite bands, or even going to space, but without actually being there? Is that possible? What about going into one of your favorite video games or even flying over London, no airplane, no harness, no nothing, just you and the sky? It sounds unreal, right? Well, in some aspect it is, but not with the new Samsung Galaxy Gear VR.
    This new headset from Samsung, that has yet to be released, is a step into virtual reality. It allows you to experience seeing things as if you were actually there. Yet, there's one catch. If you're thinking about buying this headset, it will only work if you have the Galaxy Note 4, which will be released sometime this year. The headset is powered by this one and only phone, so including it to the package is crucial. 
    Nevertheless, the Gear VR headset is composed of many things that will make users happy. For example, the headset has a touch pad on the right side so that you will be able to to navigate through the virtual world easily. One thing users might also enjoy is that you don't have to worry about going through all the struggles of having to connect your controllers to the television. The Gear VR got rid of that problem for you because along with your shiny new phone, and your amazing Gear VR, Samsung is thrown in a wireless controller.
    Could this actually work? People have not been shy when it comes to showing their skepticism toward this new gadget because it has not been the only virtual reality headset to be released. It might sound surprising, but according to people who have tried it, it was a success. "It looked stunningly life like, and the idea was very intuitive; I immediately knew to move my head from side to side, up and down, to get the full immersive experience", is what journalist, Al Sacco, said when he experienced the Gear VR; so if you go and try out the new Samsung Gear VR when it hits phone stores, where will you go?
