Google reveals its Daydream VR headset, which launches in November for $79

Google is all-in on virtual reality.

The search giant revealed the Daydream View VR headset for its mobile virtual reality platform today. It ships in November for $79. The device provides a shell for your Daydream-approved VR phone and comes with the Daydream controller. At a product-announcement presentation, the company also provided its deepest look yet at its VR plans. These includes the Google Pixel phone, which is the first Android device that the company is labeling “VR-ready.” This is Google’s big play in the VR space, where it is competing against Facebook’s Oculus Rift and HTC’s Vive on PC and Sony’s PlayStation VR on consoles. But, of course, Google is most directly taking on Samsung’s Gear VR headset, which turns Galaxy phones into a VR system.
