sandwich - - 1 comments @ Samsung Reveals New Upgraded Gear VR Mobile Headset

They really should have included a fan on the new design, since the majority of people who use Gear VR experience "Please allow your device to cool down" interruptions while using any of many VR apps.

I've hacked my consumer version to have two tiny fans on the "cover," they connect via 3 pin terminal which piggybacks power off the usb charging port on the VR. Fans draw only a couple hundred mA, and don't appear to interfere with powering/charging device.

It's not pretty, but at least I can use my Gear VR for more than 10 minutes in the summer without my phone nearly melting.

Should have been included by default in this version, most common complaint about Gear VR.
