The help section details how to use the touchpad and back button to navigate the smartphone and VR interface, as well as how the back button doubles up as the 'see-through' button to view the outside world through the Gear VR setup. Other features were screen timeout, calibration, help and developer mode. Called Undock Alert, the feature notifies the user the smartphone has been removed, and how to put it back. The site reports some HMT Manager functionalities on the Samsung Gear VR Manager app that indicate what was anticipated earlier, the Samsung Gear VR headset will be modular, and require the smartphone (thought to be the rumoured Galaxy Note 4) to be docked with it to operate. While Sammobile says it wasn't able to access the first two features without the accompanying VR headset and smartphone, it managed to run the HMT Manager. The companion app software is seen to include three main features, VR Panorama, VR Cinema and HMT Manager. Now, the same site that reported of the Samsung Gear VR headset - Sammobile - has released screenshots of the alleged Samsung Gear VR Manager. In June, another report said the VR headset would be called Samsung Gear VR, and even detailed the modular smartphone-based functionality along with an alleged render image of the device. The first report of Samsung working on a virtual reality headset had come back in May, with Oculus once again rumoured to be helping develop the software for the South Korean giant. While on Thursday a report had detailed Samsung's partnership with Oculus VR to bring out its mobile VR platform for smartphones, on Friday another report claims to have access to an early version of the smartphone companion app for the VR platform, called Samsung Gear VR Manager.
