Is Google’s new VR project just another … daydream?

As with any major announcement from Google, Daydream’s May 18 reveal came with its fair share of hyperbole and hubris. “Hundreds of millions of users” will have Daydream-enabled phones in a couple of years, claimed the company’s senior product manager, Brahim Elbouchikhi. This, I don’t doubt. People will own hundreds of millions of Android phones. And they will have the Daydream platform on them.

Whether developers and users will be doing anything with them is another thing entirely.
