At Google I/O today, the company announced what they are calling "Google Daydream."
This is their upcoming virtual-reality platform that takes Google
Cardboard several steps further. Daydream is a platform that will
provide guidance for both hardware and software developers
to create truly immersive Android N compatible VR hardware, games and
experiences. The first hardware will be available this Fall. Companies
such as HTC, Samsung, ASUS and others are working on smartphone handsets
and VR headsets that are Daydream compatible. Game developers like EA
and Ubisoft are already working on compatible games. Google is also
releasing reference devices including a headset and controller to
encourage developers and companies to develop content for Daydream. In
addition to Daydream, Google announced Allo, Duo, Instant Apps, and a stable Android N developer preview.
