35 years, Portugal attended to the first color television broadcasts and who could do it would use, in many cases, Samsung TVs. Tomorrow, the Portuguese division of South Korean origin brand back to make history and will broadcast the football match between FC Porto and SL Benfica live, in a format compatible with the virtual reality equipment Gear VR.

“It is an unprecedented global initiative, because it is not a recorded issue is not addressed to a closed user group and under certain conditions. It will be available to all who have the mobile equipment, Gear VR, have downloaded the free application and, of course, have access to Internet, wherever they are, “said Frederico Paiva, director of business Samsung Portugal.

Owning the equipment still will not be for everyone, not least because the” glasses ” VR gear, marketed for only “three or four months”, are only compatible with mobile phones Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. The Gear VR costs 219,90euro and mobile phones 525euro and 597euro respectively. “We know that the price is still not accessible to all, as with all technology, which is new and has a high cost of development. But I think, will soon be much cheaper,” said the official.

This kind of futuristic glasses on the front of which fits the S6 works immersive way, that is, you have every viewing angle occupied by image (and can / should move his head to see what is above, below, behind …) and surround sound that convinces the user that is actually inside the action.
