Reports emerged earlier this year that the company was working on a new virtual reality headset powered by existing Samsung devices, including the flagship Galaxy S5.

Well, I hope they have something more appealing than a phone to drive the displays on this thing, I was wondering if the PS4 was enough to muster it adequately, now no matter how nice the S5 is, it's not as powerful as a PS4 or a decent gaming PC as far as 3D goes.

Why?
AR and Wearables are the future of the "mobile" tech industry,
Nobody is gonna a where a headset, unless they are a gaming enthusiast, and well, good luck Samsung.

Well there goes Sony's grip on the casual market with Morpheus. I'm guessing Sony's headset is gonna be way more expensive since it has to run high end games and the casual audience is just gonna buy Samsung's headset if its way cheaper.
