Last year when the Galaxy Note 4 was announced in IFA 2015, Samsung also announced a brand new partnership with Oculus (the Virtual Reality company which raised $2.4 million through KickStarter and is now owned by Facebook) to create a virtual reality headset for smartphones. The Gear VR was born and since the Galaxy Note 4 is physically bigger than the Galaxy S6, Samsung also released a Gear VR which supports both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.

With that said, today Samsung Malaysia is making the Gear VR Innovator Edition for the Galaxy S6 available in Malaysia. Whilst also promoting the not so new Galaxy S6, Samsung will be holding roadshows to promote this new Virtual Reality headset and also to introduce the public to the immersive world of Virtual Reality.
