As some of you might recall, Samsung announced a Virtual Reality headset called Gear VR a few weeks ago, and judging by the specs and features - it's been designed really clever for a low price point and that has been appreciated by several developers.
And according to an interview with Develop Online, UK studio Climax is one of the biggest supporters. This is what technical director James Sharman had to say:
"The experience these devices offer is superior to the first generation Oculus kits that wowed the entire industry. Devices backed by high-end GPU hardware are going to offer a visually richer experience, but this has all the right pieces to give you the sudden feeling of being somewhere else."
Of course, Oculus has since delivered the vastly improved Dev Kit 2, and are planning several more improvements for the consumer model expected next year.
Sharman also addressed the fct that it's a fairly cheap unit that borrows CPU power an sceen from your Samsung smartphone:
"VR Headsets are not budget peripherals, you need a quality screen and a high precision sensor package which pushes the price of the Rift and Morpheus up. Assuming you have already paid for the phone, the entry cost with Gear VR is going to be much lower. It's easy to see a future where a lot of peoples' first VR experience will be with a device like this and the more headsets out there the easy it will be to justify game development with good support."
