Another device that Google announced is the Google Daydream View, VR headset and controller.
Google Daydream View looks similar to the Samsung Gear VR, a VR headset that needs a smartphone to power and serve as your display, the difference is that its made with soft, breathable fabric and 30% lighter than similar devices. Google Daydream View comes with a handheld controller that lets you navigate inside the Google Virtual world.
The Daydream VR platform was first announced during the Google I/O 2016 last May. Daydream is Google’s platform for high-quality mobile VR.
In their official announcement;
With Daydream, you simply pop a Daydream-ready phone in the headset to start exploring. Powered by Android 7.0 Nougat, Daydream-ready phones are built with high-resolution displays, powerful mobile processors and high-fidelity sensors—all tuned to support great VR experiences. Google’s newest Pixel and Pixel XL are the first Daydream-ready phones, and there are a lot more on the way from leading Android smartphone makers.
Daydream View will be available this November at the Google Store and our retailer partners across five countries:
United States: Verizon, Best Buy; $79 (USD)
