Like others following the Oculus Rift (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/11/oculus-reveals-its-consumer-rift-headset/) story, I assumed that all VR headsets still presented issues like nausea and lag (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/13/oculus-explains-the-battles-against-latency-and-motion-sickness/) and weren't yet consumer-friendly. But I wanted to see for myself what the fuss was all about, and since I already have an S6 Edge, I decided to splurge on one. In a few short days, my prejudices have melted away: The Gear VR isn't perfect, but it already does plenty of things, and does them well.
