2020-4-4  But I'm not going to tell you to run out and buy a $100, £100 or AU$150 Daydream View. Journey of haha. For all the improvements here, there are still several reasons why.

Virtual reality was all the rage last year. The HTC Vive and Oculus Rift VR systems released to much fanfare; Samsung unveiled its consumer version of the Gear VR mobile headset in late 2015; and Google debuted its Daydream VR platform and towards the end of 2016. This year, the hype has died down somewhat. Nokia even camera, citing “slower-than-expected development of the VR market.”But that doesn’t mean there haven’t been any improvements or new additions to the space. Facebook’s Oculus recently unveiled that’s coming next year, and Google also announced it’s working with Qualcomm, Lenovo, and HTC to introduce that do not require a phone or computer. While we’ve yet to learn more about those devices, we’ll have to make do with Google’s to last year’s Daydream View headset. In our review, we found that while the headset doesn’t add much in terms of new stuff, it greatly improves the experience and it’s still one of the most comfortable VR headsets we’ve tried.

What is Daydream?Daydream is Google’s mobile virtual reality software platform. Put a supported headset on with a supported phone, and you’ll be placed in a forest with a floating screen of apps and media content. You can look around in 360-degrees by moving your head around, but the headset does not track your position in the room like some high-end VR headsets do — it’s best used on a swiveling chair.

Familiar media services are also available with “VR” attached to them: YouTube VR, Hulu VR, Netflix VR, and more. You’ll primarily want to watch 360-degree content here for the full, immersive experience, but regular videos will play as usual, with you sitting in a comfy living room staring at a large, rectangular screen.Since its launch last year, the Daydream platform has grown considerably. There are hundreds and thousands of videos you can watch, and a plethora of games.

VR’s biggest problem is its lack of appealing titles and content to keep us coming back, and we’re happy to find lots more to dig through on Daydream. Still, just because there are more games, doesn’t mean they’re great.

A lot of titles, like Gunjack 2: End of Shift, tend to feel quite repetitive.There are a lot of free games and content to peruse, but do note that you’ll have to cough up some dough for certain apps and games. Thankfully, most of the paid content is affordable, often under $5 and $10. Daydream View and its improvementsDaydream View is Google’s headset for the Daydream VR platform. It comes with a controller, but there’s not much tech in the actual headset itself.We loved last year’s design and material, and said it looks and oozes comfort — almost like breathable sweatpants. However, once you put the new Daydream View next to the 2016 model, you’ll immediately notice the difference. The 2017 design itself is very similar, but everything feels more rigid and tight. The material is textured almost like canvas, the strap is firmer, and the inside lining (removable facepad) where your face rests is softer and more comfortable.

Since its launch last year, the Daydream platform has grown considerably.We still prefer last year’s softer exterior fabric, but this year’s Daydream View certainly looks smarter. It has a better fit, and there’s an extra strap that goes over your head for additional support (you can remove it if you don’t want it).

There’s no need to worry if you have glasses, we had no problems wearing the Daydream View over ours, and the same is true with last year’s model.Unlike the first generation headset, you can no longer stow away the controller on the inside of the front flap of the new View. Google suggests putting the controller in a loop on the rear strap. It makes sense — we hardly transported our headset, so there wasn’t much of a need to stow the controller. The option to place it in the strap is just as convenient.The flap where you put your phone now doubles as a magnesium heat-sink, which helps with a very real problem with VR: Burning hot phones. Last year, our Pixel XL often got incredibly hot after about an hour of VR use, causing games to stutter and slow down. We’ve already seen the heat-sink on the new headset help a lot.
