The new headset also come with a motion controller, as well as integrated AKG headphone, an Australian company specializing in the manufacture of acoustics devices co-operated with Samsung. These speakers are essential in the VR glasses, although up until now Samsung HMD Odyssey is the only one of the Windows VR glasses that has it. It is supported by an internal and external tracker to suit Microsoft’s new software, which means you do not need to setup a camera to track the movement of the headset in the space.
There is also an internal microphone to connect with Microsoft Cortana, a personal assistant for Windows 10, and certainly for making calls over the Internet.
This is not, of course, the first VR produced by Samsung. It has long been preceded by the mobile-powered Gear VR, which is by far the most popular VR lens, according to the June data from International Data Corporation.
