Google Daydream View - VR Headset for Smartphone (Slate)

Absolutely love the touch and go aspect of this. I pair mine with an LG V30 and a chromecast. Makes for a fun party trick to share what the user is seeing. The remote is intuitive even for older family members. The strap on this version is just right once you get used to placing it higher than is expected, I understand that as this confuses people they changed it. I hope this is the reason 4k capable phones come out in the future as 2k resolution has some pixelation but if the content pulls you in it fades away. For the particular there is chroma away from the center of the lenses from the simple fresnel lenses but this also fades if you become submerged. Currently I think there are performance limits on resolution for 360 video as 180 video looks much better and as of this writing there is a lot of great material to keep my interest. I understand that a year ago the ecosystem would have been sparse and it was easy to lose interest. I have been a gamer ever since watching my parents play donkeykong country and little has got my heart racing like zombies attacking me in stereoscopic 3D. I am excited for the experience possibilities with VR and I cant wait to see what is next for mobile VR.

This is a neat little product unfortunately it only works with a very very small handful of higher end phones. I have a Google Pixel 3A and even though this product is manufactured by Google itself it doesn't work with the 3a. I previously had this product with a Motorola phone and eight hundred dollar Motorola phone and it worked great and I bought it again with this phone and it doesn't work I didn't return it because I intend to get a phone that it does work with so I can't complain too much.

I bought this expecting so much more. Firstly, it is comfortable works as advertised. My issue with this headset was the fact I was rocking a Pixel 3 xl which barely fit into the headset, allowed more light than I would like ii, and my god did I have issues pairing the controller. I ended up going with a third party headset that came with a controller that is daydream compatible, cost less and came with headphones attached. I bought this at the 49.99 sale price and I still think its just barely worth it, and this is coming from someone who is trying to live completely submerged in the Google ecosystem. The benefits of the headset are size as its small and does look aesthetically pleasing, not unlike may other headsets. The video clarity was definitely less than superb, there are no focal adjustments whatsoever, it is big enough to fit your face if you have glasses. I wear glasses. Really my biggest grip is getting the controller to pair and stay paired, had no issues with other daydream compatible controllers.

Nice VR experience with this headset if your phone is supported by Daydream. I only wish the resulution was higher...thus the 4 star rating... but smartphone displays are just not high enough resolution to support it. But Google did a nice job with the GUI interface. It's very easy to navigate and there are a lot of apps available today...I know early reviews said there were not many games and apps but the selection is pretty good as of Aug. 2017. If you see color fringing as you look to the side within the headset what you need to do is adjust the headset padding that touches your face so that your face will sit closer to the two lenses. I lifted the three Velcro fasteners and pushed the foam in towards the lenses. This greatly reduced the color fringing and enhanced the experience because the field of view increased as well. So play with this adjustment and you will know when you get it right. Enjoy! I know I will.

When I found out that Google had it's own VR headset built to work with the world of Google VR apps, I had to get it. I was not disappointed. It is not as immersive as some of the higher tech VR out there like the Oculus, but the headset fits snuggly on your head and doesn't way too much, so it doesn't cause your neck to hurt from trying to hold it up. It is very responsive, and I like that you can reset the centering at any time you want, which makes it easy to be oriented pretty much anywhere and still have full access to the VR world. The joystick that it comes with has good responsiveness and works well with the various apps that you can access. I also love that the headset is set up to hold the joystick when you aren't using it for easier storing and so you don't lose it. All in all, it is a great headset, especially for the price. If you want the best VR you definitely have to look into something more like the Oculus, but the Daydream is perfect for the average joe who just wants to experience the world of VR without having to invest heavily in the equipment.

As someone with a VR headset, I wanted to get this as it is usually a pain to setup my headset when I want to open a video in VR. Unfortunately I was having some issues getting the remote to work and to find the daydream app and after a quick google search it turns out that the whole thing has been depreciated. It's incompatible with newer phones, which is why I reckon that I was having issues with the remote just not working. If you have an older phone and use some of the still available apps, then this could be a great deal for entering into VR. It's kind of sad that they didn't advertise this more as what I did get to work seemed great. IT seems like there is a subreddit to actually get the thing to work, but it involves using root access on your phone to force it to work. TL;DR buyer beware, likely incompatible with your device and requires a bunch of effort to get working

Producto descontinuado con compatibilidad muy limitada

1) no supporting app, it's discontinued by Google. 2) I can work only if you have an old Pixel phone. 3) incompatible with any other brand phone 4) YouTube video works but it appears cross and no button to adjust this. 5) waste of time trying to use this

I admit, I wasn't expecting brilliance when I snapped my Pixel XL into the Daydream View but wow -- was I surprised! I had an original Oculus Rift Developer kit but found the "screen door" effect and the lack of a handheld controller to be deal-breakers.. The Daydream view + Pixel XL resolves these concerns and then some! No, you won't see the visual fidelity of a Vive + nVidia 1080GTX, but as an inexpensive VR unit it's unmatched. I'm already looking at deploying a few of these for industrial pump maintenance training purposes, and I believe they'll work beautifully: Daydream is about to become a fully supported platform in the Unity3D development environment and we absolutely cannot wait!

AGGIORNAMENTO OGGI, dopo un aggiornamento del Note 9, il daydream non è più compatibile con il note 9. In poche parole è divenuto un inutile arpello. La cosa peggiore è che il telecomando, indispensabile per interagire nel mondo vr, funziona solo con questo visore. Non so di chi sia la colpa, se di samsung k di google, ma resta il fatto che far diventare incompatibile un oggetto senza preavviso è proprio un mossa meschina. Il visore è comodo e un buon biglietto di ingresso bel mondo del vr. Il telecomando funziona bene e il software disponibile per la piattaforma daydream, che si avvia in automatico appena si inserisce il telefono nel visore, è ancora poco ma in continuo aumento e permette di fare la maggior parte du cio che ci interessa: vedere fiom in 3d e giocare a qualche titolo in Vr. Usato con dispositivi samsung, bisogna stare attenti a non premere l'odiato tasto bixby. Altra cosa, i dispositivi samsung si scaldano come delle stufe. Proverò anche altri smartphone magari gli altri non hanno questi problemi.

Bought this product without realizing that it is incompatible with two on my phones (Samsung S6 & Oneplus 8T). I was surprised to find out this was a thing. Totally, my fault, but the product description did not help by emphasizing the fact, & I was not allowed to make a return. Just spend more & get an Oculus Quest 2, you'll be much happier.
