Given Samsung (http://mashable.com/category/samsung/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss)'s propensity to compete in virtually every conceivable product category, this isn't too surprising: The company is working on its own version of the Oculus Rift (http://mashable.com/category/oculus-rift/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) and plans to unveil it this year.

Samsung has even shipped prototypes of the device to some developers already, according to a report in Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/22/samsung-vr-headset/). Rather than being a PC or game console peripheral, Samsung's headset links to a Galaxy phone to create its virtual environment. It's a demanding device, though: The consumer version will require the power of next-generation flagship processors, the report states.
