So I got a Samsung Gear VR to go with my fancy new S7 edge. Let me tell you, it's awesome. Awesome display, great since of depth. But my problem is that I love to stream games, and I love to check out others streams. I use Twitch mainly. And while I can see streams on my Gear VR I cannot comment on them.
For Twitch on the Gear VR you have two options as far as I can tell. The Oculus Video app or the Samsung VR Browser. The Oculus app plays video brilliantly and even shows comments, not to mention lets you do it in some immersive environments. However there is no way to comment or check out someones actual page/profile from it. The Samsung Browser on the other hand has trouble with Twitch. You can access the desktop site. But the streams won't play. And I was even unable to leave a message in the chat.
The sad thing is, in the regular Twitch app for Android, I am able to View and Comment on a stream.
After all this I'm still left sitting here stunned at how awesome it looks. But upset as I can't make it do what I want.
Alternatively, I would love for them to be able to screen mirror the PS4. The VR display would be amazing to play zombies on. It really feels like being in an IMAX or something.
Soon enough Sony will release their head set and the VR Slaying will begin. Just wishing I could get a head start here at the Jugga-Nog!
