Samsung made a web browser for the Gear VR
A different way to view the internet.
Yes, there are already plenty of great games for Gear VR, but Samsung wants to keep enriching the platform with content. That's why it is introducing Internet for Gear VR, a web browser for people who own its smartphone-powered virtual reality headset. The company says you can use this new app, which is currently in beta, to enjoy the internet in a more immersive way. Along with offering support for 360-degree and 3D video streaming, Internet for Gear VR also handles HTML5 media playback. Naturally, you'll need to type web addresses along the way, so Samsung has added voice recognition to the application.
Gaze Mode, meanwhile, will let you select menus by gazing at them -- hopefully that feature works as described, because it definitely sounds neat. If you have a Gear VR, the app's going to be available tomorrow, December 2nd, through the Oculus Store and works on Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy Note 4 or Galaxy Note 5.
