While Samsung’s Gear VR has been called “the best virtual device you can buy right now,” one problem its users face is that other than activities such as playing games and watching videos, they’re a bit limited in what they can do. But now, Samsung has announced that owners of the headset will be able to use a new web browser built and optimized specifically for the device, catchily called “Samsung Internet for Gear VR.”
Samsung’s VP Chan-Woo Park said: “As a pioneer in the mobile VR industry, Samsung has continually worked to provide our users with a fully immersive mobile experience in the evolving world of virtual reality. As the demand for 360-degree, immersive video content rapidly rises – Samsung Internet for Gear VR further enriches the VR content ecosystem for our consumers, setting an industry standard for the VR viewing experience.”
