New version of Gear VR to be revealed soon, may come with a dedicated controller, à la Daydream View

One of the biggest differences between Google's Daydream View and previous mobile VR offerings comes in the form of View's dedicated controller. It made sense to include one with the headset, as it is not only well-suited for gaming, but also for controlling the menus and other parts of the VR interface as well. It sure beats having to swipe and tap a small, imprecise d-pad on the side of headset! (ahem, Gear VR).

Well, it seems that Samsung has taken note and is likely to do something similar in the near future. According to Twitter leaker Roland Quandt, the next iteration of the Samsung Gear VR will also feature a dedicated controller/gamepad, and we may see it as early as next month.
