Google announced yesterday that their Daydream View VR headset will start selling on November 10 in selected markets. The headset will be available that day on the Google Store, where you can pre-order it now, and at various retailers across five countries: Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK and the US.
Daydream View, which Google announced a few weeks ago, is a smartphone-based VR headset which comes with the Daydream controller, a small remote that features two buttons and fits into the side of the headset. The device runs on Google's own Daydream platform, which is woven into Nougat, the latest version of Android. Daydream View currently works with Google Pixel and Pixel XL phones, while more compatible devices are coming soon from third-party manufacturers.
In the blog post, under the section entitled 'Your Personal Cinema', Google also showcased some of the features you will get access to if you purchase the Daydream View, such as Hulu VR, although the Hulu VR app is only available in the US. There's also YouTube VR, Google Play Movies, VR animation Invasion!, Star Chart VR and more.
The headset will cost £69 in the UK and the retailers listed on Google's site are EE and Carphone Warehouse. Will you be making your first steps into VR with this?
