From Teleporting To Daydreaming: The Comfortable Way To VR

From Teleporting To Daydreaming The Comfortable
Way To VR 

• For anyone who has ever experienced virtual
  reality, to be honest, cozy is not the first
  term which comes to the mind. But if the makers
  at Google have to be believed, then its Daydream
  view headset can change that. At a recent live
  event in San Francisco, Google announced the
  Daydream view, which is said to be a really
  comfortable headset that you put your phone
  into, which then connects wirelessly to the
  headset and a small remote.

• For Google, whose first entry into the VR space
  was the cheap but not-at-all comfortable
  Cardboard, Daydream is a much-welcomed entry. A
  relief from the plastic and foam of most
  headsets, Daydream is made out of soft cloth that
  feels more like felt or a blanket. Though it is
  softer and comfortable but being fabric, it does
  come with a few tradeoffs. The most important of
  which is the part touching your face gets dirty
  quickly. But to that, Google representatives
  emphasize repeatedly that they dont think
  staining would be a significant issue for most
  users as the inside fabric panel is removable so
  you can wash it from time to time.

• Another great benefit of this setup is the fact
  that it comes with a no cables attached tag.
  One doesnt need to plug it into a PC or a
  console, moreover, you dont even need to plug
  the phone into the headset. Another good point is
  that setting up the viewer is also far simpler
  than the Gear VR or even Cardboard. The phone
  slips into the front lid easily and the front
  panel attaches to the top of the headset with an
  elastic loop. The front panel can also come out a
  bit so larger phones and phones with cases can
  fit inside. But after so many benefits, there
  obviously is a downside too, and that is the fact
  that at present the only phone with Daydream
  capabilities is the new Google Pixel which makes
  the wallet-friendly price of the set a little
  misleading. However, to everyones relief, a lot
  of big brands are already on their way to making
  Daydream compatible phones which include Huawei,
  HTC, LG, etc.

• Apart from the headset, the kit also includes a
  small wand-like intuitive controller. The sensors
  hidden inside the controller are so precise that
  one can even write their name with it. Having a
  controller means you can do things when you go
  places in the VR. The controller fits nicely in
  the palm of the hand and is easy to use. Its as
  accurate as Google promised and the virtual
  reality world itself is really impressive.

• Putting all the pros and cons of this newly
  launched device together, we can definitely call
  it as one for the masses. Now the only thing
  which will define its popularity amongst users is
  the number of mobile phones compatible with it
  and the variety of content available for the
  Daydream platform and these are the announcements
  we too are eagerly waiting for.
