The most important software on Gear VR is video passthrough. By long-pressing the back button on the headset, the Note 4's 16-megapixel rear camera shows a feed of the real world (albeit a slightly delayed one). While this can be used for augmented reality applications, it's also sure to be a standard in all VR headsets going forward. Using a headset and want to sip your tasty beverage? Video passthrough. The dog's barking and you're wondering what's up? Video passthrough. You want to do literally anything without having to remove the whole headset? Video passthrough. Seriously, this is a standard-setting situation. Expect it from the competition.
Okay, one major question remains: Since the Note 4 is a phone, what happens if you get a notification when you're using it with Gear VR? Samsung doesn't know. Namkung said his team is split on the decision, with some arguing the phone aspect should trump the immersion of VR. In so many words, people won't want to ignore their phone just because they're using Gear VR. But getting a ringing phone call in your face all of a sudden sounds pretty intense! It's certainly an issue Samsung is aware of, though the decision hasn't been made just yet. Might I suggest making it optional?
