Samsung's A Moon for All Mankind is the latest installation from the tech giant and this one lets people live out their moonwalking fantasies. Opening in New York City, this VR experience utilizes a Gear VR headset, a Galaxy S9 Plus and a specialized rig harness. The headset and smartphone help create the distinct VR lunar landscape, while the harness allows for users to feel the sensations of a true moonbounce.
