Samsung's next VR headset will have inside-out tracking

The future of VR is inside-out. This means that the headset needs no external assistance similar to mobile solutions like the Gear VR. Samsung is working on a more capable headset that will offer 6 degrees of freedom (DoF), compared to the 3 DoF that the current Gear offers.
