samsung gear vr... you havent heard of it?

Nope. It's the only one of the 4 listed, that i never heard of.

it's a peripheral you can use with Samsungs latest high end smartphones, so out of the 4 listed it has the highest install base of potential users (it's estimated there are ~ 13m "VR ready" PCs out there, Gear VR compatible Galaxy S6+/S6/Note5 phone sales should be comfortably above 100m - PS4 is at ~36m as we all know)

and it's already been released in 2015 (2014 as "innovator edition", compatible only to one phone) and as most of the expensive tech is within the phone the HMD peripheral only costs $100

Thanks for the info, it's nice to know what it's used for and such. I guess i've never heard of it, because i've owned nothing but iPhones. for about the past 6-7 years.
