Last year, Google launched Daydream view VR headsets, and now the company has unveiled improved version of the virtual reality headsets at the Made by Google event in San Francisco.
The new Daydream View VR (2017) headset looks similar to first generation of Daydream View VR, but it is unveiled with some improvements. The new Daydream View VR comes with high-performance lenses which the company says, it will offers more immersive experience with better image quality and a wider field-of-view. However, during the event Google didn’t specify how wide it would actually.
The new Daydream View headset comes with dual-tone fabric which makes the headset light and soft, and this move makes the device comfortable to wear for longer period of time. The headset also comes with a slot to store the Daydream Controller, and, it now also has a removable top strap.
