Samsung's standalone VR headset might carry 'Odyssey' moniker

Himanshu, 20 July, 2016

Back in April this year, Samsung confirmed that it's working on a standalone virtual reality headset. While the company went ahead and revealed some of the device's features (like positional tracking), there was no word on what name the headset will carry.

While Samsung still hasn't given us any confirmation, going by recent trademark and logo applications by the South Korean company, the headset might be called Odyssey.

Adding weight to this are short descriptions provided in the trademark applications, including "virtual reality game headsets," and "virtual reality game software."

While not much is known about the headset at the moment, Samsung's aim is to create a Star Trek type holodeck.

What a troll you are. This is Samsung, not some random Chinese company. And definitely not Apple who don't even know what VR is.
