The whole concept of virtual reality is based around immersion.

You've got a headset on, which literally takes over your entire field of view.

You're often wearing headphones, meant to block out the world around you and bring the sounds of the virtual world to your ears.

But when it comes to bringing anything other than your eyes and ears into VR, the system falls apart.

There's still no real way to bring your body into VR, no way to interact other than through various gamepads. You can't simply grab something with your hand in virtual reality and have it react — you still have to push a button, in so many words.

There are attempts to solve this issue, of course.

Facebook-owned Oculus VR has the "Oculus Touch" controllers (which also require a camera for use):

Sony's PlayStation VR headset has the PlayStation Move motion controllers, which look like this (and require a camera as well):

And HTC's Vive headset uses a similar solution (which doesn't require a camera, but instead requires two small boxes emitting lasers be placed in the room of the user):

And this week, during the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Samsung is showing off its own solution. Instead of wands, these look more like bracelets (or maybe brass knuckles) — they're called "Rink":

With Rink, you'll be able to bring your hands into virtual reality using Samsung's Gear VR headset.

Unlike headsets from Facebook, HTC and Sony, Samsung's headset is powered by your phone instead of a PC. As such, you'll plug what looks to be a camera sensor of sorts into the top of the headset, which will then track the Rink motion controllers. But you're probably wondering what it looks like in action, right?

Wonder no more:

And here's an even more novel potential use — a virtual keyboard!

There's only so much known about Rink thus far — we have no idea about price or release date or any of that nitty gritty stuff just yet. We do, however, have a sweet video from Samsung showing what it looks like (from inside virtual reality) when you're using the Rink controller:
