Next-gen Samsung Gear VR to come with 2,000 ppi OLED screen
Samsung has
released quite a few Gear VR headsets over the years, but one thing they all
have in common is the fact that you need to insert a smartphone into them. The
next generation Gear VR that is currently in development will break away from
that tradition, however. That is, if a new rumor from Samsung's home country of
Korea is to be believed.
The next Gear VR is
said to be the first standalone headset in the series. It will have its own
screen, which will be of the OLED variety and feature the insanely high pixel
density of 2,000 ppi. That will help alleviate feelings of dizziness and nausea
that are associated with VR headset use nowadays, according to an unnamed
industry official. Samsung is apparently adamant that once you go past 1,000
ppi for VR, any problems regarding realism and sickness will turn into
non-issues.
Of course the
company has so far declined to officially comment on such rumors and
speculation, but it would be interesting to see the next Gear VR competing with
the likes of the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive in this space, while leaving both in
the dust when it comes to pixel density.
