Google Daydream is an Android Version That's Optimized for VR
As it stands, smartphone users who want to access virtual reality content must rely on apps from developers and ones like YouTube that let them tap into 360-degree video content—the introduction of Google Daydream is set to change the entire virtual reality experience on mobile.
Google recently announced Google Daydream, as "a platform for high-quality mobile virtual reality." This means that the next Android version will be highly integrated with VR capabilities. For instance, docking a phone will launch Daydream Home, which allows apps from Netflix, Ubisoft and more to open to provide a new kind of ultra-accessible form of immersive at-home entertainment.
Alongside the announcement of the Google Daydream system at this year's I/O developer conference, Google introduced a reference design for its own VR headset and motion controller.
