I'm confused. I know Carmack joined Oculus, but what's this about Samsung? I take it they're working together now? It's still two different pieces of hardware, right? This article is leaving out some crucial context here.
- Htsthbjig 12y ago"but what's this about Samsung?" It is called "the screen". Samsumg manufactures(mass produces) the best screens in the world. Their OLED screens are the best quality, simple, lightweight and extremely fast response. Oculus needs Samsung screens. Samsumg needs oculus talent, so they are partners.
- pimlottc 12y agoSure, I'm not saying it didn't make sense, just that the article didn't bother to explain it at all. If you start off by saying someone works for one company, then start going on about his doing stuff for another company, you ought to explain what the two of the have to do with each other.
- wastedhours 12y agoYep. Gear VR is like a posh Google Cardboard with a Samsung Note 4 strapped to the front (a, probably, offensive oversimplification, it actually has tech in the headset, but it's just a face-holder for the phone), and the Oculus Developer Kit is the whole thing in one package that plugs in like a monitor to your computer.
