Road to VR

DECEMBER 11, 2016

Google’s Daydream Android VR platform just got a lot more watchable. While Gear VR has been the exclusive home of Netflix VR since September 2015, the app has now landed on Daydream , Google’s Android VR platform. Also serving up non-VR videos is HBO NOW VR (and HBO GO VR ) on Daydream.

It’s not too late to order virtual reality presents for the holidays — and they don’t have to cost a lot of money, either! Get it for $25 on Amazon. This headset is just $6 on Amazon. The Mattel View-Master may be a toy, but it is a fully-functional Google Cardboard headset. Read my full review here.

We’ve seen these systems at Target checkout lines, bins at Home Depot, Michaels, and Barnes & Noble, for example, meaning that as you look for presents this year for loved ones it would be easy to pick up one of these headsets at practically any retailer, and give them as a stocking stuffer. Google Cardboard. Daydream View.

Yesterday Apple held a keynote presentation to update the world on their latest products. Apple has watched over the last few years as the likes of Samsung, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, Qualcomm, and more have made initiatives in the immersive technology space into significant parts of their forward-looking strategy.

The console can also be inserted in a special case (a much improved version of Google Daydream View) to become a VR headset. Snap and Amazon partner to offer AR preview of shopping items. Samsung is still working on AR glasses and its new internal prototype seems to be called SM-I120. Learn more. Learn more. Learn more.

Imagine it as the Google Docs for 3D artists, a set of tools that let people involved in CGI work on the same scene collaboratively at the same time, even if they are at the opposite sides of the world. Samsung terminates its XR services. Discover (and buy) the book on Amazon. All of this in less than 1 year.

This was a bit the philosophy of Google Daydream View, that was the first headset employing this kind of materials. The screen door effect is still present , even if it is much less than the one of the original Rift CV 1. If comfort presents some drawbacks, the tracking of the headset is damn amazing. This feels not comfortable.

The battery tether feels ever-present, and because it's so short it's much more annoying than the long tether of PC VR headsets or PlayStation VR2. Yes, the weight is ever present, but at least what’s pressing against your face doesn’t feel rough like Quest 2. This occlusion is present across the system, in every app.

We plan to go online with it on Amazon or Netflix and present it like that, and then have it be an additional thing that maybe Netflix or Amazon has on their platform in the Oculus or HTC. But unfortunately, Samsung and a lot of these big TV players have kind of pulled out. Maybe Google will produce a 3D TV.
