Facebook reportedly meets with Samsung for virtual reality

A report surfaced that Facebook and Samsung recently met up in South Korea. But before you think about whether Facebook is looking to develop another smartphone, it looks like they would rather focus on a new product segment. The two tech giants are reportedly talking about virtual reality technology. As you know, Oculus VR is owned by Facebook and it looks like they are helping Samsung develop its Gear VR headset. Samsung is said to launch the Gear VR in December. We have to wait and see if the Gear VR would bring Samsung the success it has brought them in the tablet and smartphone market.
