Actually, there was a news that Samsung electronics applied for a patent of its stand-alone type VR HMD’s trademark and Logo with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on July 20th.  Samsung announced publicly on April in the Samsung developers conference 2016 that they are developing a stand-alone VR HMD which work without Galaxy smartphone.

This VR HMD is called ‘Odyssey’. This headset doesn’t need smartphone and it will mount location tracking technology, hand and gesture tracking technology. It is assumed that it will be a high-end product for reaction of Oculus Rift or HTC VIVE.

Then why did Samsung named it Odyssey? It is one of Greek mythology about Odysseus who ventured for 10 years. There are also many product which name is Odyssey: Honda Odyssey and several male cosmetics. Odyssey means a long journey full of experience. Samsung Gear VR begin its journey long time ago and they are still going on. Therefore Odyssey might be the perfect name for Gear VR.
