Google VR SDK for Samsung Gear VR?

Would Google VR SDK work on Samsung Gear VR (Oculus) or am I bound to Oculus SDK? Or are there any other alternatives (preferably open-source)

While you'll still need to have the Oculus SDK in your project, a library like VRTK can help you abstract away a lot of the pain of working with multiple headsets. It supports both Daydream and Oculus (as well as a host of others).

Google's VR SDK will work fine on devices that you plug into GearVR with a normal cardboard headset. If you want to use the GearVR headset as a cardboard alternative, then it is also possible - you have to disable Oculus home and GearVR service.

This is said to work: CB Enabler for Gear VR (did not check by myself)
