For all the talk of Gear VR being the “Innovator Edition,” (like a hardware beta), or as Oculus outwardly assures, still a development kit, I’m very impressed by the polish of the entire Gear VR experience. Oculus wants to deliver the same ease-of-use on desktop, but it’s making its debut on mobile.
But damn if it isn’t refreshing to have it all taken care of for you. I am not faulting the DK2 for the questions listed above. Oculus makes you check a box that says “I understand this hardware is intended for developers and it is not a consumer product,” before you can buy the unit. Yes, the Oculus Rift is explicitly a development kit. Should you run it in Direct or Extended mode? Who knows. Is there a Mac version? What’s the reorient button? What controls does it support? Will it even run on my computer? Gear VR, supported by Oculus’ all-encompassing Oculus Home experience, eliminates these questions and many more.

Find a cool demo somewhere online, download it. If you’re an Oculus Rift user, you know the drill.

I’ve showed Gear VR to family, taken it to friend’s houses, used it in the car, and even while eating sushi.
Mobility is one of Gear VR’s biggest assets at times, it feels like a DK2 in your pocket. It’s been just a few days and I’ve already been able to wow more people with VR through Gear VR than in the last month with the Oculus Rift DK2.
