Samsung going out of VR, removing VR apps
  • Samsung will slowly shut down its XR service applications over the next few months until they’re completely gone by September 30th. The tech giant says it’s ending the service, because it’s “rethinking its immersive video distribution” method, “especially given that Gear VR is no longer available.” The tech giant has already suspended 360-degree video uploads and premium video purchases, and it won’t be rolling out any further updates. Oculus devices will no longer support the Samsung VR Video app starting on June 30th.

    It is expected that Samsung fully cut VR group inside, including both hardware (windows headsets) and software.

    Most companies going out of VR as prospects of fast and easy profits never realised.

  • The interesting thing is that due to covid19, I feel that VR will become MORE important not less. I'm starting to invest into this space.
