A little tease(ankle) to generate some buzz. It's probably something for the casual gamers. Those who enjoy gaming on their phones and on FB might be enticed. For a serious PC gamer? It isn't aimed at them imo. The battery power will most likely also be a hindrance for the serious PC gamer. Trying to create another niche market while the Oculus and Vive are barely toddlers is a risky move at best. HTC Vive of course has their answer to wireless http/www.tomshardware.com/news/tpcast-wireless-vive-upgrade-kit,33015.html

I recently purchased a Samsung S8+ phone and the Oculus VR headset. The phone has the new styled rounded connector. The Oculus headset has the old style trapezoid shaped connector. They will not make together and I need a headset with the newest style connector. Can I get that?

You can! They make a version of the Gear VR with USB Type-C. See our review here: https/www.tomsguide.com/us/samsung-gear-vr,review-3248.html

Yeah, something like what DisplayLink is working on might be better for PC gamers.
