First Look: Google Demos Android ‘Daydream’ Platform for High Performance VR

Google’s newly announced ‘Daydream’ promises to raise the bar for virtual reality on Android compared to Cardboard. At I/O 2016, the company showed the first glimpse of Daydream in action.

In the video (above) we get the first glimpse of the Daydream ‘home’ space where users will be able to launch games and apps. We also see Google’s new VR controller reference design in action, which allows gesture-based interactions within the virtual world.
