Google Daydream: After its first cardboard “device”, which has 50 million app installs, Google is accelerating the development of VR.
Noting that cardboard is a bit limited, Google introduced a new one platform called Daydream and focused on a better VR experience on Android.
Google Daydream currently has a reference design for a standalone device and remote control. The device as you see in the drawing above will look a lot like the Oculus, while the remote control resembles a remote control television Apple.
Google also says that the standalone device will be released this fall.
Η company reports that the device won't be just for gaming, but will allow you to watch series from HBO and Netflix (among others). With the upcoming Android N and VR Mode they all seem easier.
And yes, YouTube will be too available in VR.
We are not going to see it until the fall, but with Daydream it seems that the mobile VR platform will become more interesting. Developers can start deploying Daydream applications starting today.
