I can't daydream about our past encounters (I literally can't daydream).
|
|
While we are no longer selling Daydream View or supporting Daydream on Pixel 4, the Daydream app and store will remain available for existing users.
|
|
Google unveiled its first headset for the Daydream VR platform today: Daydream View.
|
|
The update, codenamed Daydream Euphrates, will roll out to all phones with Daydream support.
|
|
Google's Daydream VR headset, Daydream View, will cost $79 when it's released in November.
|
|
The Daydream View is the first piece of hardware unveiled for Google's Daydream VR platform.
|
|
The new headsets will operate on Google's "Daydream" platform, which currently powers the Daydream VR headset.
|
|
Google's answer to this has been the Daydream View, potentially the first of several Daydream headsets.
|
|
Google is offering the $79 Daydream View, which you'll need to launch Daydream apps on your phone.
|
|
Daydream was effectively an upgrade meant for more sophisticated mobile VR. Google launched a dedicated Daydream app with access to a special section of the Google Play Store, as well as the Daydream View, an attractive and relatively cheap headset similar to the Samsung Gear VR. Daydream grew slowly, however.
|
|
The Gear VR has the Oculus Store and Daydream View (and future Daydream VR headsets) has Daydream, which has access to VR apps and content from the Google Play Store and the YouTube VR app.
|
|
Even people who don't own one of the select Daydream-compatible phones can also view Daydream content through Chrome.
|
|
It will also be Google Daydream-ready, so it'll be the first to combine Tango and Daydream in one.
|
|
Google has just unveiled the first headset for its Daydream VR platform: Daydream View, shipping in November for $79.
|
|
Even though Daydream feels even more cumbersome — you have to start the Daydream app on the ZenFone AR, slip on a $79 Daydream VR headset, and then connect the headset to a small handheld controller to get started — I enjoyed using Daydream more than I did the AR apps, which surprised me.
|
|
When Google added it to Chrome, though, it worked only on Daydream-compatible phones, via the more expensive Daydream viewer.
|
|
Daydream is the company's mobile-friendly VR platform, and the Pixel is the first phone that will be Daydream-ready.
|
|
The Daydream controller is Google's attempt at making "the mouse of VR," as Daydream project manager Andrew Nartker puts it.
|
|
So thanks to transitivity, the 821 will support Daydream, and through double transitivity, the Zenfone 3 Deluxe will support Daydream.
|
|
But if Google can't actively draw people into things like YouTube for Daydream, then Daydream — and possibly virtual reality itself — dies.
|
|
We've previously speculated that Tango could bring new tracking capabilities to Google Daydream, but at this point, Google emphasizes that there's no interplay between Tango and Daydream on the ZenFone AR. Its screen is slightly larger than Google's 5.5-inch Pixel XL, but like all Daydream-ready devices, Asus' phone fits into the Google-made Daydream View headset.
|
|
Now, it's showing off its Daydream View, a VR headset that will work with Daydream compatible phones, including the new Google Pixel.
|
|
In order to use the new app, you'll need a Daydream-ready phone, like the recently launched Pixel, and the Daydream View headset.
|
|
View ships with a Daydream View controller, which is a simple motion-enabled remote you can use to navigate VR experiences in Daydream.
|
|
Google doesn't list the Play as Daydream compatible, so although you're getting Nougat, that doesn't mean you'll be able to access Daydream games.
|
|
Daydream will run on compatible Android phones, including the new Pixel and Pixel XL, along with Google's new VR headset the Daydream View.
|
|
This one is called Daydream, and it's launching on the Pixel and Pixel XL phones, along with a $79 headset called Daydream View.
|
|
With Daydream, Google is clearly targeting Facebook's entry-level beachhead in VR. Unfortunately, because Daydream requires Google-certified hardware specs within the host Android phone, most consumers won't be able to update their existing Android smartphone and get the full Daydream experience.
|
|
ZTE also notes that the Axon 7 will support Android's Daydream VR. It's not clear if the ZTE VR is a Daydream-compatible headset or if ZTE simply means that its phone will be capable of using Daydream — my reading is the latter.
|
|
Almost every major Android phone maker was supposed to be releasing a Daydream-ready phone, which would work with any Daydream-compatible mobile headset.
|
|
The entire Daydream platform has grown slowly — Google's Daydream View remains the only phone-based headset — and that trend seems like it's holding steady.
|
|
While HTC's Daydream standalone headset will utilize the Daydream controller, it is also unclear what type of input the new Chinese standalone will utilize.
|
|
VR: Google announced its Daydream ecosystem at I/O last year and followed up with its first headset, the Daydream View, in the fall.
|
|
The game is built exclusively for the Daydream platform, working with both the Daydream View headset and the higher-tech Lenovo Mirage Solo headset.
|
|
Daydream View is both a consumer product and a general reference design for all future Daydream headsets, which Google hopes will proliferate next year.
|
|
Virtual Reality: A refreshed Daydream headset Out of all of Google's mobile efforts, its Daydream VR headset seems to be a bit of an afterthought.
|
|
Daydream View is like a reference model, so to speak, for other hardware makers to model their own Daydream-compatible VR headsets and controllers after.
|
|
On the Daydream side, Google offers the phone-powered Daydream View and the standalone Lenovo Mirage Solo, which has similar features to the Oculus Quest.
|
|
And Google just revealed that it's discontinuing the similar Daydream View mobile headset, in addition to omitting Daydream support from the new Pixel 4 phone.
|
|
Last year, when Google announced that Samsung would be a partner on Daydream, many expectedly guessed that the upcoming Galaxy S8 would add Daydream support.
|
|
The Pixel is the first Daydream-compatible phone and Google today also announced the $79 Daydream View headset to accommodate the Pixel for VR use.
|
|
But unlike your average mouse, the Daydream controller still only works with a small subset of devices: new Android phones that support the Daydream standard.
|
|
The release also has Daydream, Google's new VR platform, baked in, though it'll only be supported by Daydream-ready handsets running the OS. Introducing #AndroidNougat.
|
|
Google Daydream View for $30 (was $100).. Even without a $70 discount, we found the Daydream to be remarkably comfortable and now it's super affordable, too.
|
|
As Google launches its Daydream virtual reality platform next month with its Daydream View headset, there is already attention being directed to its next-gen headset efforts.
|
|
If you're not already familiar, Daydream View is a headset created by Google to work with its new Daydream VR platform, which is built into Android Nougat.
|
|
It would have been wireless, had no need of a phone or additional PC, and would have used the Daydream controller to access Google Daydream VR content.
|
|
Coinciding with the debut of Google's new Daydream View VR headset, YouTube this morning announced the launch of its YouTube VR app, which is available first on Daydream.
|
|
Oculus and Samsung got a two-year head start on Daydream, and Gear VR developers haven't added Daydream support en masse so far, possibly because of slow sales.
|
|
Currently, there are eight devices that support Daydream and Google announced Thursday that there will be more Daydream-ready phones, including LG's next flagship, coming later this year.
|
|
The ZenFone AR also ships ready for Google Daydream, making it easy to convert the device into a VR machine, assuming you have the Google Daydream View headset.
|
|
The search giant announced its first Daydream-ready VR headset—Daydream View—which is essentially a $79 headset that turns your Google Phone into a virtual reality dream.
|
|
It's actually much-improved on Daydream VR, with controls that are built around the Daydream VR controller instead of you having to crane your neck in all directions.
|
|
Daydream debuted with the Pixel last year alongside Android N, and has expanded out to a few other devices, including the Moto Z. Android O could bring additional VR features to Daydream, and it's possible that Google will also reveal new partners for Daydream on both the hardware and software side.
|
|
Several phones have added Daydream support since then; there are now over a dozen Daydream-ready Android devices, including the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and upcoming LG V30.
|
|
Google's Daydream View VR headset is on sale now for $49, $30 off the usual price of $79 and the first major deal we've seen for the Daydream View.
|
|
We have seen a few more Daydream-compatible phones in the intervening months, but probably not as broad an ecosystem of Daydream-capable phones as we might have though.
|
|
There's no release date or price announced on stage, and as with Daydream last year, we're only seeing an outline of the headset — which appears alongside a Daydream-like controller.
|
|
Daydream turns compatible smartphones into standalone VR systems: you just need one of Google's Daydream View headsets to hold the device, together with the accompanying touch controller, and you're away.
|
|
It's a separate product from the standalone HTC Google Daydream headset that was announced this spring, although its silhouette looks very similar to that of the Vive standalone Daydream headset.
|
|
Much like VR-ready specifications for desktop machines, Google will also have Daydream-ready smartphone specs, listing the specific sensors, display resolutions, and chipsets necessary for the best Daydream experience.
|
|
Daydream Ready is the mobile equivalent of Oculus Ready Phones that meet the Daydream Ready spec are coming this fall from Samsung, LG, HTC, Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE, Asus, and Alcatel.
|
|
Google hasn't revealed sales figures for the original Daydream View, but so far Daydream has apparently trailed Samsung's competing Gear VR, which shipped 5 million headsets by the beginning of 2017.
|
|
We once described YouTube as the "killer app" for Google's Daydream mobile VR platform, but Daydream has had a slow rollout, and we've heard very little about it in recent months.
|
|
Nougat also features a special virtual reality mode called Daydream that will ensure that VR apps run smoother, but we won't see Daydream-ready phones and headsets until later this year.
|
|
The $79 Daydream View announced in October will only support the Google Pixel and Pixel XL at launch, but it'll work with any future phones built upon Google's Daydream VR platform.
|
|
Google certainly seems to hope that phone-based Daydream headsets are at that point — it projects there will be "tens of millions" of Daydream-ready phones by the end of the year.
|
|
Daydream was first announced yesterday, and Google launched a site for virtual reality developers this morning, so they can get started before the first Daydream-ready phones start rolling out this fall.
|
|
Apparently the the new Chromecast will be called either the Chromecast Plus or the Chromecast Ultra, and Google's Daydream VR platform will earn a suffix, the finalized version being called Daydream View.
|
|
The SDK is now available to all via the Daydream developer website, and supports "integrated asynchronous reprojection, high fidelity spatialized audio, and interactions using the Daydream controller," writes Nathan Martz, Product Manager, Google VR. The developer site has also been updated with full documentation, sample apps and tutorials, to help those new to VR development and Daydream get started.
|
|
In order to ensure that Daydream apps meet a certain level of quality, Google has also published a page of Daydream app quality requirements to ensure that any VR experiences meet Google's standards.
|
|
The headset is part of Google's new Daydream initiative, a mobile VR platform baked into Android N. As with Android, Google wants its hardware partners to build and sell their own Daydream devices.
|
|
Companies will be able to produce their own headsets that fit the Daydream standard, and Samsung, HTC, LG, Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE, Asus, and Alcatel are all on board to make Daydream-compatible phones.
|
|

Samsung will likely soon start Daydream-certifying its newer phones and as more and more phone manufacturers adopt OLED screens and other mobile VR ingredients, the advantages are sure to stack up for Daydream.
|
|
Consequently Daydream is cheap, super user friendly, and requires nothing more than the VR headset and a powerful Android phone (phones powerful enough will be Daydream "approved"—currently only the Google Pixel is fully supported).
