It feels like a marketing gimmick vs a useful application. Probably will be cancelled in a year or two.

- suyash 7y agoExactly it looks cool, but no one needs to make fancy tiring gestures to control the app when you can just do it by a few taps, not the mention most people already know how to navigate touch screens with gestures and taps.
- davidy123 7y agoI have to agree. Something to get people to notice the handset, think it's unique, but it really doesn't add much value. I paid for a Google Daydream headset. Half a year ago it stopped working on their supported device (Pixel 2 - driver issues). Now they say the Pixel 4 won't support Daydream because people weren't using it, of course they weren't if they don't support it properly. They release proto tech as marketing gimmicks, which they may have long term plans for, but it's not fair to ordinary consumers to create interim abandon ware like this.
