Samsung has announced a controller movements for Gear VR during Mobile World Congress, which finally comes to address the device's biggest problem.
The controller looks like a comparison with the HTC Vive remote. In front there are home, back and volume buttons, while on the back there is the trigger button, as well as a clickable trackpad. The device inside it has an accelerometer, a gyrometer and a magnetic sensor.
It is powered by two AAA batteries, which can provide 40 life days with two hours of daily use. There is also a strap on the new device to hold the controller.
To mention that it was time for Samsung to present an official controller. The Gear VR has some of the best immersive experiences compared to the Rift or Vive, but uses a small touchpad that is cumbersome.
Of course, you could use a Bluetooth controller, but the VR works best with motion controls.
Samsung has not announced a price or a release date. Let's hope the new device is included with all future versions of Gear VR.
