When it comes to virtual reality headsets, the Samsung Gear VR and the YVR 1 are two of the leading products on the market. In this review, I will be comparing both headsets based on their features and specs in order to provide an informed opinion as to which is better overall.

Starting with the Samsung Gear VR, this headset was designed for use with a smartphone device. It has a field of view of 101 degrees, a resolution of 2560 x 1440 px and runs on Android. While its refresh rate is slightly lower than that of the YVR 1 at 60 Hz, it does have room-scale 360 tracking capabilities. This makes it particularly useful for navigating 3D environments quickly and accurately. On the downside however, since its primary source of power is from your phone’s battery, you may find yourself running out of charge quicker than expected when using it for extended periods.

The YVR 1 on the other hand is a standalone VR headset with a much higher resolution at 2160 x 2160 px. This offers noticeably sharper images compared to those offered by many smartphones – making it ideal if you want more immersive visuals while playing games or watching videos. Its 100° field of view provides ample space to explore 3D worlds while its 90Hz refresh rate ensures smooth transitions between frames without any lag or stuttering issues. It also comes with three-axis gyroscope support so that you can tilt your head and have objects appear in front or behind you just like in real life – something that’s not possible with traditional mobile-based headsets such as Samsung Gear VR . The only downside here is that due to its relatively high cost compared to most other smartphone-based systems , not everyone might be able to afford one .

Overall , both these virtual reality headsets offer excellent experiences when used properly but depending on what type of user experience you're looking for , there's definitely advantages and disadvantages associated with each one . If you're mostly interested in exploring 3D environments quickly and accurately then I would suggest going with the Samsung Gear VR due mainly to its room scale tracking capabilities . On the other hand if visuals are your priority then I would recommend getting your hands on a YVR1 as they offer much better image quality than most mobile phones currently available . After using both myself though , I personally preferred using my Samsung Gear VR over my YVR 1 mainly because I found its motion sensing technology very useful during gameplay – something that was lacking in my standalone headset .
