Kudos to O2 for stocking this..

I had the innovator edition for the s6 and was so impressed with how well it worked.
Very immersed feeling throughout using it.
@Toby you need to get 2 for try the tech ASAP and maybe s6's too but you could offer them out to people who already have the phones..

Is this VR headset new to the O2 shop @viridis? I seem to remember you trying one previously...

And yes it does seem a good idea to try before you buy as it were. TTT would give others an opportunity to see exactly what they are like

I tried one in Thailand that simulated being on a roller coaster....felt so sick after, mind you I was quite drunk!

Yeah they are new to O2, Samsung were at O2 last week showing them off to staff so I'm guessing they signed up.
I believe the demo on show was "deep blue" an underwater interactive demo with sharks, dolphins, whales etc.
The best one is jurassic world Apatosaurus, really good.

Great feedback @viridis thanks! How does it compare to other VR headsets you've tried?

With regards to Try The Tech, if we can, we will ;). I'll let you know

It's far superior to any of the "Google cardboard" units out there. The software for gear vr has been written by Oculus vr the people behind the Rift. With 1440p for each eye it's also one of the most detailed.
For the price it's a steal, I paid much more for the (beta) version and tbh I thought even then it was well priced considering the abilities of it.
It's very very easy to use and sitting in your own personal imax theatre watching a film in flawless 3d is quite unreal.
@Toby see if the Samsung guys left any behind for demo use...
