Why Google Daydream Could Be The Future Of Virtual Reality
Google also announced Daydream View, a “really comfortable” headset that you put your phone into, which then connects wirelessly to the headset and a small remote.
The Daydream View costs just $79, and launches this November. That’s over $300 cheaper than a PlayStation VR, over $500 cheaper than an Oculus Rift, and over $700 cheaper than an HTC Vive. Of course, one of Google’s Pixel phones will set you back $649, but these are almost always purchased on a month-to-month basis, taking the sting out of the purchase. More to the point, everybody has a smartphone these days. Daydream View will be an easy sell for anyone who already owns a Daydream compatible phone.
With mobile graphics rapidly improving, Daydream VR gaming should provide an experience that’s at least approaching what you can play on more expensive headsets.
