Keeping that in mind, Samsung has developed a prototype app which will allow parents to tell their kids bedtime stories over Samsung Gear VR, virtual reality device. The parents have to wear a Gear VR headset and kid will wear a Google Cardboard headset and both will enter into the same virtual reality world. The parent will recite the story called ‘Most Wonderful Place to Be’ and you both will visit the magical places by sitting on your bed.

The app ‘Bedtime VR Stories’ can be used when the parent is away from home. In fact, Samsung emphasized that the app is more for parents who live somewhere else for work perhaps. Currently, they have three different characters called Jen the Penguin, Dan the Dinosaur and Jo the Robot. The company has not mentioned the release date from when anybody can get the app and share virtual Bedtime stories with kids. But they have opened a signup option to get the update about Bedtime VR Stories.
