Father’s Day is creeping up, and Best Buy has just what dad wants. What dad doesn’t love being in on the action? The Samsung Gear VR drops you right in the action — and it’s only from Samsung and Oculus.

With Father’s Day quickly approaching, you are probably wracking your brain for gift ideas. Does dad really need a new pair of socks or another tacky tie? No! He needs the kind of technology that will leave him feeling a part of all of the action.

Who doesn’t want to escape reality once in awhile? Well, mobile virtual reality is finally here. Watch movies in your own private cinema, be at the center of your favorite games, and socialize with friends in a virtual world all your own. The lightweight design and intuitive touchpad drop you right in the action and allow for hours of immersive entertainment.

    I will share this post with my daughter. She still does not have a gift for her husband. She wants something really special because this is his very first time to celebrate Father’s day and a Samsung Gear VR is something I know my son in law would really love to have.

    This would make a great gift idea for any tech dad or for any tech person. I know my sons and their dad would love this especially because it is virtual reality. They are all into anything tech so this would be a great gift for them to give to their dad. Thanks for sharing this awesome father’s day gift idea.

    My husband got the Samsung Gear Vr when he purchased his Galaxy 7 Edge. He has played with it a little bit. He said it was pretty cool but his phone did start to overheat after a while.

    I think my kids would get a kick out of this. My husband remembers the old VR, so he turns up his nose at the idea of it. He’s a stuborn one.

    Hubby will surely like this gadget … he is not much into tech but when it comes to stuff that can enhance his phone experience this will surely take the cake. VR is so hot nowadays can’t wait to get it soon.
