Google announces VR NDK for Daydream, native Unity integration coming this summer

At the Google I/O developer conference in Mountain View, California today, Google announced the release of tools for building applications and games for Google’s new Daydream mobile-focused virtual reality platform.

A native development kit (NDK) based in C++ for Daydream is being exposed in beta to provide “direct low-level access to all the features of our hardware and software platform,” Google Daydream product manager Nathan Martz said. A Unity plugin is available now, with a native Unity integration coming this summer, Martz said.
