Gear VR Prototyping

I built my own open source (open-gear.com) Gear VR headset. I own a Galaxy Note 4, but am being stingy and want to develop for this platform for about 15 dollars versus 250. I ported some of my demos over to this platform, but sadly don't have a bluetooth controller, so designed them all for 1 button input (ala Apple) .Needless to say, several design adjustments for control schemes and input. Surprisingly decent framerate on both the Galaxy SIII and Note 4. Below is a video of the rig in action with leap motion and photos of the board, the actual Gear VR, my headset and my lunar prototype working with it.
