Samsung announced a motion controller for Gear VR during the Mobile World Congress, which is finally coming to grips with the biggest problem with the device.
The controller looks like a comparison with remote του HTC Vive. Μπροστά υπάρχουν τα home, back και τα volume buttons, ενώ στην πίσω πλευρά υπάρχει το trigger button, καθώς και ένα clickable trackpad. The device inside has an accelerometer, a gyrometer and a magnetic sensor.
It is powered by two AAA batteries, which can provide according to company 40 days of life 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 it uses a small surface touch 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.
