With my busy packed schedule lately, I have not been able to attend as many tech events as I’d like and it bums me out. Especially, when I have to pass on attending a recent Samsung event, the Malaysian launch of the Samsung Gear VR (Innovator Edition for S6).
It’s an experience that everyone has to try! The Gear VR is made to bring imagination into reality. – Lee Jui Siang, VP Mobile, IT & Digital Imaging, Samsung Malaysia Electronics
Since I heard about Samsung Gear VR for Galaxy Note more than a year plus ago, I have been itching to get my hands on time with a Virtual Reality headgear to experience it first-hand. I was so excited about the prospect that more and more manufacturers are inventing more amazing wearable technology beyond the same ole smartwatch.
Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition is built to be fully optimzed and compatible with their 2015 flagship Android smartphones – the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge.

Did I mention how bummed I am that I didn’t get to attend the launch and try the Gear VR myself?
