CNN brings virtual seat to Democratic presidential debate for Samsung Gear VR owners

General

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Here's a first for virtual reality: if you own a Gear VR, then you will be able to attend the democratic presidential debate on the 13th of October. Basically, the media giant will broadcast a virtual reality stream of the debate, and you'll feel like you're actually there in the audience.

There's apparently no limit as to how many people can attend, because the way it works. CNN books a single spot from which everyone can watch. The only downside to this feature is that you won't get presidential candidates close-ups, but you will be able to see the audience and how they react to what the candidate are saying.

CNN's offer brings a whole new layer of entertainment to consumer homes after Mariott and Samsung teamed up to deliver a unique new experience. They allowed guests to book a VR room for up to 24 hours at the New York Mariott Marquis, and it's a really fancy experience.

All in all, it looks like virtual reality content is growing every day, and soon the Gear VR will be available to all consumers for merely $99. The company's consumer variant of the Gear VR is compatible with the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 edge, the Galaxy S6 edge+, and the Galaxy Note 5.
