The Mirage Solo offers a more robust, freeing experience than any mobile VR headset I've ever used.

Now, Carmack and others at Oculus seem even more clearly ready to move on from their first mobile VR headset.

And if all goes well, before 2015 rolls around you'll have a well-built mobile VR solution that won't break the bank.

The Gear VR has lower latency and better images compared to previously developed mobile VR headsets from Google and others, Iribe said.

It's still a mobile VR solution, and what that means is you can look from side-to-side, you can look up and down.

You can use the trigger and touchpad to pick up and manipulate objects, so mobile VR experiences should get more interactive and immersive.
