Google Daydream View
Google just took the wraps off Daydream View, a
brand new virtual reality headset that is vastly different from the mainstream
virtual reality headsets out there.
How is it different? Two ways: first, it is very
light and very comfortable, made out of soft, breathable materials - unlike
most heavy and bulky plastic VR goggles out there, and secondly, with the
cable-free way to connect to your phone by just placing it in the Daydream View
headset and immediately going into VR view.
Daydream View comes with a minimalist,
compact controller that features great accuracy and works in concert with the
VR headset: you can draw with it, control motion with it and even use it as a
game controller.
A VR headset, is nothing without content.
That's the place where many current VR headsets fall short. Google brings a ton
to the content space, though: it has built Street View, YouTube and Google
Photos right into Daydream View, and those are some of the most prolific
channels in existence.
The pleasant surprise about all this is the price tag: just US$ 79
for the virtual reality headset that will go on sale in the beginning of
November.
