Η Samsung announced a motion controller for the Gear VR during Mobile World Congress that finally addresses the device's biggest problem.
The controller looks like a comparison to the HTC Vive remote. In front there are home, back and the volume buttons, while on the back there is the trigger button, as well as a clickable trackpad. The device inside has an accelerometer, a gyrometer and a magnetic sensor.
Powered by two batteries AAA, which can provide according to the company 40 days of life with two hours of daily use. There is also a strap on the new device to hold the controller.
Let's say it was time for Samsung to present an official auditor. The Gear VR has some of the best riveting experiences compared to Rift or Vive, but uses a small touchpad that is cumbersome.
You could of course use a Bluetooth controller, but VR often works better with them controlof movement.
Samsung has not announced any price or some release date. Hopefully, the new device will be included with all future versions of the Gear VR.
