Samsung Gear VR finally ushered in a long-lost motion controller

Samsung has just released a motion controller for Gear VR that solves an embarrassing problem faced by this virtual reality headset. We previously saw it at the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2017), but we do not know the specific listing date and retail price. But now, we have made it clear that it will be officially launched on April 21st, the price is 39 US dollars (RMB 268 yuan); if you buy Gear VR + motion controller kit, you need 129 US dollars (about 888 yuan RMB) . The controller looks a lot like the HTC Vive (it also seems to be a bit more powerful than Google Daydream) with a flatter top, except for the clickable trackpad, home, back, and drink adjustments on the front Button. On the back of the controller, there is a trigger button. On the inside, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetic sensors are integrated. When used, two AAA batteries need to be installed. The United States plays 2 hours each day, so the battery life can reach 40 days. Samsung demonstrated the motion controller at the launch of the Galaxy S8, and it is undoubtedly the best partner for the Gear VR experience. Although heavier than Google's controller, the trigger button still gives people a rather popular second input option. For those players who hate to integrate too many buttons on one controller, you can of course continue to use the traditional Lite Bluetooth controller.
