Samsung's new Milk VR app streams 360-degree video to Gear VR he

Starting today, Samsung's giving you more to do with its Gear VR
virtual reality headset. The company has launched a new app,
Milk VR, that delivers immersive, 360-degree videos to the
Galaxy Note 4-powered platform. (By the way, we really wish
Samsung would move away from the truly awful "Milk" branding.)
Available now as a technical preview, every video served up by
Milk VR is free to watch. Some are streamable and others can be
downloaded, and Samsung has vowed to deliver new clips on a
constant basis. Each video spans one to ten minutes in length,
according to TechCrunch, so you'll probably run out of
entertainment options pretty quickly on day one.
But keep in mind that while nothing's stopping you from buying
one, the Gear VR really isn't meant to be in consumer hands just
yet. Samsung's still getting developers accustomed to its own
collaboration with Oculus, which relies on the flagship Note 4
to power the whole experience. But at least early adopters now
have something more to do with the $199 headset.
