News reports of Samsung shipping 3.65 million headsets in 2017 seemed huge, bigger than all of the other VR headsets combined.
It was a marriage of convenience for both sides, and the two companies worked quickly to improve the plastic casing the phone would snap into to make it all work with each Samsung phone release.įor a couple of years, Samsung did a great job making it seem like the Gear VR was massively popular. What Samsung offered was a massive instant group of users, and access to a widely popular hardware system. The Oculus logo was on the headset, right next to Samsung's, but it was pretty clear which company really managed the system. When you bought apps in the Gear VR ecosystem, Oculus maintained the payment gateway. When you entered the Gear VR software, the Oculus logo was everywhere.

The hardware and software powering the Samsung Gear VR were entirely powered by Oculus. These headsets weren't really a Samsung concept.

If you are looking for a cheap way to add a motion controller to a project, this would be a great place to start: you can pick up one of the Gear VR Controllers on Amazon for less than $17, and the code allows you to read button presses, touches on the touchpad and the orientation of the controller itself. His example uses this standard to read and display the orientation of a Gear VR Controller on a web page, and he has published the code that makes this possible. It’s a pretty new standard, so Google Chrome is the only browser that supports it at the moment. He did this using Web Bluetooth, which allows a web app to discover and connect to Bluetooth devices without requiring a native app. This fits in with his intention: to be able to use the Gear VR controller without the Samsung app. He was then able to use this to create his own web app to use this data. Specifically, he was able to find the commands that were used to get the device to send data, and was able to read this data to determine the state of the device.

By digging into the APK that links the device to the phone, he was able to figure out the details of the Bluetooth connection that the app uses to connect to the device. This project from is a great example of this: he reverse-engineered the Samsung Gear VR controller that accompanies the Gear VR add-on for their phones. We love a bit of reverse engineering here at Hackaday, figuring out how a device works from the way it communicates with the world.
