It's March of 2016 and I've just brought home my brand-new Samsung Galaxy S7 on launch day. Because I've pre-ordered it I've also come away with a free bonus, the Samsung Gear VR headset. It's a clever bit of kit that you slot your phone into, transforming it into a VR display panel.
The Gear VR headset was designed in partnership with Oculus, which is now owned by Meta, and it's where my love of virtual reality headsets truly began. So you can imagine my excitement starting to build throughout 2024 as rumors swirled about Samsung and Google teaming up to create their own fully-fledged VR device. After all, Meta makes some of the best VR headsets both in the gaming space and for the spatial computing crowd.
