Samsung to stream Galaxy S7 launch on Gear VR

If you own a Gear VR, you can watch Samsung’s MWC launch of the Galaxy S7 in virtual reality. What you’ll need to have is a Samsung device and a Gear VR (of course). You would also need to download the Unpacked 360 View app from the Oculus Store. Once Sunday comes, all you need to do is open the app and watch the new Galaxy devices be presented to you in all its VR glory.

If you don’t have the VR headset and don’t particularly care for it, you can still stream it right from your desktop or download the same app from Google Play. And no, you don’t have to be a Samsung user to access the app.
