Qantas to amuse first-class passengers with Samsung's Gear VR — androidauthority.com

Qantas, Australia’s largest airline, is set to entertain first-class guests with Samsung’s virtual reality headset in the near future. If you’re lucky enough to fly in Business Class on the airline, you might be set up with a Gear VR and a Galaxy Note 4 to play with while you fly. The Note 4 will come pre-loaded with a unique application that gives users a 360 degree view of the Qantas first-class lounge in LAX, a video that puts you on the runway to watch A380s land and take off, and even a VR boat ride that takes you down a聽Northern Territory river in Kakadu. Unfortunately, the Gear VR’s availability will be quite scarce in the beginning, as they’ll only be offered for first-class passengers on A380s traveling from LA to Sydney or from Melbourne to LA. Additionally, only four headsets will be provided by Qantas for the outbound flight to LA, four for the inbound flight from LA, and two each for Qantas鈥� Sydney and Melbourne first-class lounges.
