Samsung Gear VR // Mobile VR Rental Kit01 / The experience
Mobile VR.
A complete kit.
Bring a compatible experience to an event with a matched phone and headset. Content and software checks are especially important for this older platform.
Powered by a phone
A compatible Samsung Galaxy phone connects to the Gear VR headset. The headset cannot run the experience by itself.
Content for your event
Discuss existing 360° video, a suitable application or custom content. We’ll confirm what can run on the proposed equipment before you book.
A guided introduction
Request facilitators to help participants with the equipment, introduce the experience and manage the activation.
02 / Know the equipment
Compatibility
comes first.
Gear VR comes in different versions, so phone compatibility depends on the exact headset and connector. Our original rental range included Galaxy S6, S7, S8 and S9 phones; we’ll confirm the actual pairing and working software for your enquiry.
This is an older mobile VR platform. Newer phones and current VR apps should not be assumed to work with it. Share your content requirements so the team can test the complete setup or discuss another headset.

Before
you book.
Check the phone, headset and experience together before confirming this legacy equipment.
Does Gear VR need a phone?
Yes. It needs a compatible Samsung Galaxy phone connected to the headset. Ask us to quote for the complete phone-and-headset kit.
Can I use my own Samsung phone?
Send the exact phone model, software version and headset model first. Compatibility varies between Gear VR versions, and a current Galaxy phone is not automatically suitable.
Can you provide content and facilitators?
We can discuss existing or custom content and activation personnel. The proposed content must be tested on the selected phones and headsets before the event.
How much does the rental cost?
Send your dates, location, quantities and support requirements. We’ll confirm availability, the working setup and a quote. If Gear VR does not suit the experience, we can discuss another rental model.
