Google launches Daydream View in India
2017-06-12
Google launched its Daydream View headset and controller in India. It will be available on Flipkart for Rs.6,499 starting. Designed and developed by Google, Daydream View delivers simple, high-quality VR. With Daydream View, users can always get the best seat in the house. Indian users can also watch top shows and movies, distraction-free, on their own virtual big screen.
Speaking on the launch, Clay Bavor, Vice-President of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, Google, said, “Daydream View promises users a mesmerising experience. Swim with a pod of dolphins, stand at the edge of a volcano and even visit Pluto with Daydream View. Users can teleport from virtually anywhere to pretty much everywhere. Our aim is to make the VR experience mobile so that customers can easily carry it anywhere with them. We, at Google, are also working with developers, smartphone companies, and content creators to make VR accessible to all.”
Google’s Pixel and Pixel XL are the first Daydream-ready phones, and you can experience Daydream on the Moto Z and coming soon to Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+. Daydream-ready phones are built with high-resolution displays, powerful mobile processors and high-fidelity sensors – all tuned to support great VR experiences.
The headset is made with soft, breathable fabric and is designed to fit over eye glasses. The phone and headset have an auto-alignment system so users don’t have to worry about cables or connectors.
A big part of what makes Daydream View special is the controller. This small yet powerful controller lets users interact with the virtual world the same way they interact with the real world around them. Daydream View is packed with sensors that respond precisely to a user’s movement and gestures – swing it like a cricket bat or wave it like a magic wand. When you’re done using it, slide it into a specially-created area within the headset and never worry about losing it in a bag or between couch cushions.
