LG tends to follow what its much larger South Korean competitor Samsung does when it comes to releasing products which is why it’s a bit strange that it has taken LG this long to get into the virtual reality market considering how hard Samsung has been pushing into it recently. While LG’s own offering will compete with Samsung’s Gear VR, it won’t be entirely of LG’s own design. Rather, it will be based on Google’s DIY VR setup.
Korea’s two largest companies are Samsung and LG, and while Samsung has been making a big splash in the VR world, LG has remained conspicuously silent. That’s because the company has been working with Google to build a headset for the LG G3 that’ll do a similar job to the Gear VR. The charmingly-named VR for G3 is a plastic headset that’ll let you slide the phone into the hardware, with special holes cut for the smartphone’s rear volume keys. Rather than building its own virtual reality platform, however, LG has cribbed the design from Google’s paper-craft VR headset, Google Cardboard. Like the original, the plastic hardware comes with a neodymium ring magnet on the side that’ll pair with the G3’s internal gyroscope, enabling you to control your phone without having to touch the display.
