- corysama 10y agoThe difference between some random Android device running a Cardboard app vs a Samsung Gear VR running a Gear VR app is night-and-day. Daydream certified phones and apps should be about as good as Gear VR. We'll see if it's a little better/worse/same soon.
- shams93 10y agoNo daydream has a whole set of new standards in terms of features and performance a phone has to meet to be labeled "daydream ready."
- tree_of_item 10y agoMore like Google Cardboard was a toy Daydream. As in, Daydream was always the intention, but some hackers did a quick proof of concept in cardboard and it kinda took off.
- 1_2__3 10y agoDaydream is still a toy. It's just a fabric toy instead of a cardboard one.

- joezydeco 10y agoI thought the Viewmaster VR was a nice productized Google Cardboard. https://www.amazon.com/View-Master-Virtual-Reality-Starter-Pack/dp/B011EG5HJ2 https://www.amazon.com/View-Master-Virtual-Reality-Starter-P...
- thebouv 10y agoMy daughter and I bought this and really liked it. Meant to try and build a simple VR demo with it, but we never got around to it. She drifted away from programming and more into art. Maybe she'll come back around again.
- drzaiusapelord 10y agoSeems that way. Some of us were expecting a Tango powered, positional tracking VR workhorse, but instead got a cloth cardboard, with only inertial tracking, but with a much needed controller. Seems okay for a cheap 1st gen consumer device, but people who want to game in VR are probably going to go the PSVR or Vive route.
