Samsung has been a major player in the VR game for years now — specifically with its mobile VR headset, the Gear VR. It’s found itself a sweet spot between the entry-level experience of the Google Daydream platform and the premium, PC-driven VR setups like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. It’s not as powerful as the dedicated headsets — it’s powered by a smartphone, after all — but its unique features and ability to immerse the user are beyond what Daydream can do. Plus, it’s a relative bargain, provided you own a Galaxy phone. If you’re about to put on Samsung’s VR headset, you’ll want to know the best apps available to demonstrate its abilities. Here are our picks of the ones you should download first, including both games and VR experiences.

2016 Bentley Continental GTC Speed Convertible Score Details DT Recommended Product “Grand touring doesn’t get much better than the 2016 Bentley Continental GTC Speed.” Endless comfort Abundant, smooth power Gallant design Unflinching all-wheel drive dynamics Dated, sluggish infotainment system Seemingly unquenchable thirst Recalling how radiantly green the car is, I decide not to play chicken with a yellow light as I approach the intersection. With a faint squeal from the Continental GTC Speed’s carbon ceramic brakes, the grand tourer creeps to a stop before being joined by a white Scion tC to the right. Soon after, my peripheral vision catches a gabbing mouth and waving hand coming from just beyond the passenger side window. Turning my head in that direction, I meet eyes with an attractive blonde woman who’s attempting to communicate – she’s obviously unaware of the … [Read more...] about 2016 Bentley Continental GTC Speed Convertible review

Just like March 14 always makes us think of pi (or should that be pie?), May 4 has become synonymous with George Lucas’s iconic sci-fi franchise. Playing off the classic catchphrase “May the Force be with you,” May 4 is officially an international day of appreciation for all things Star Wars. To celebrate the occasion — and the upcoming release of Solo: A Star Wars Story — we rounded up some of our favorite tech-focused Star Wars toys, from X-Wing drones to a pint-sized version of BB-8. ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Electronic Chewbacca Mask ($32) By now, we’re pretty sure everyone has seen the viral Facebook video with the woman wearing this mask. If you haven’t, however, make sure to check it out, because it’s a roaring good time (get it?).
