Since a mobile headset is only 3 DOF and can’t offer you, controllers, VRidge works also with other hardware devices that can offer you additional features: for instance, it can be integrated with Kinect ( RIP) to have positional tracking and also with Nolo VR to have both positional tracking and 6 DOF VR controllers. You will then be able to play any kind of SteamVR game launching it on your PC and then playing it with your phone: the desktop app will make sure that the game content will be streamed to your mobile headset. After that, some Polish magic will let your SteamVR runtime detect your mobile VR headset as a headset tethered to your PC (so, like an HTC Vive, for instance). What you have to do is installing and launching both apps (notice that on GearVR the app should be installed through SideloadVR): if both your devices (PC and smartphone) are connected to the same Wi-fi network, the two apps will start communicating. The solution is comprised of two parts: a desktop application and a mobile application. Basically, it is a solution to let you use your cheap Cardboard or your Gear VR headset to play PC SteamVR games.
