Google just launched its Daydream View VR headset in
India. This lets useres experience sports, live events and more in full 360°
panoramic view. Indian users can also
watch shows and movies, distraction-free, on the headset. DayDream VR is compatible
with Pixel, Pixel XL and Moto Z smartphones and will support Galaxy S8 and S8+
soon.
Google says that it is Inspired by the clothes and
is made with soft, breathable fabric and is designed to fit over eye glasses.
The phone and headset have an auto-alignment system so users don’t have to
worry about cables or connectors.
It comes with the Daydream controller which slides
right inside the headset when not in use. It supports apps like YouTube, Street
View, Play Movies and Google Photos. The
controller lets users interact with the virtual world the same way they
interact with the real world around them.
It has sensors that respond precisely to a user’s
movement and gestures — swing it like a cricket bat or wave it like a magic
wand. When you’re done using it, you can slide it into a specially-created area
within the headset.
The Google Daydream View comes in Slate color in
India, is priced at Rs. 6,499 and is available exclusively from Flipkart.
