What do you like best about Daydream?

The innovator for modern vr was sought out by google themselves. The purpose of vr is to enter another reality, you cannot do that if you are bound by cables, which is the problem google daydreams sought out to solve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daydream?

Limited functionality. Although I really appreciate the philosophy behind the design of the vr, at the end of the day, there's not much you can do in contemporary vr culture were 2 joysticks are used to monitor your hands with such realism, if google had accepted the level of their functionality, the target audience would have been more refined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daydream solving and how is that benefiting you?

Phones are very powerful computers considering their form factor, they are wirelessly unbound and have high software fidelity, which is perfect for empowering vr development that utilizes more motion-based vr development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daydream?

Google Daydream is an innovative virtual reality (VR) platform that provides an immersive experience for users. I had the opportunity to try it out recently and was thoroughly impressed with its capabilities.

Firstly, the design of the Daydream headset is comfortable and easy to use. It's lightweight and fits well on the head, and the adjustable strap ensures a secure and snug fit. The controller is also intuitive and easy to use, with responsive buttons and a touchpad for navigation.

The Daydream platform offers a wide range of VR experiences, from games to educational content, and everything in between. The graphics and sound quality are exceptional, providing a realistic and engaging experience. The platform is also highly customizable, allowing users to personalize their virtual environment and preferences.

One of the standout features of Daydream is the ability to experience VR content with other people in real-time. This is achieved through the Daydream View app, which allows users to invite friends to join their virtual world and interact with each other in real-time.

Overall, I highly recommend Google Daydream for anyone interested in exploring the world of VR. It's a well-designed platform with a wide range of content options and easy-to-use controls, making it accessible for both experienced and novice VR users alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daydream?

While Google Daydream is an impressive virtual reality platform, there are a few drawbacks worth mentioning.

Firstly, the number of compatible devices is limited, meaning not all Android smartphones can be used with the Daydream headset. This limits its accessibility and may deter potential users.

Another issue with Daydream is the limited selection of VR content available on the platform. While there are some high-quality games and educational experiences, the overall library of content is relatively small compared to other VR platforms.

The battery life of the Daydream controller can also be a concern, as it requires frequent charging, which can disrupt the VR experience.

Finally, the Daydream headset can become uncomfortable after extended use, as it does not provide enough ventilation and can cause sweating and discomfort.

Overall, while Google Daydream has many positives, these drawbacks may be a consideration for some potential users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daydream solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a VR enthusiast, I have been using Google Daydream for several months now and I must say, it has solved a number of problems for me.

One of the biggest challenges with VR is the cost associated with high-end headsets. However, Daydream provides an affordable alternative without sacrificing quality. This has allowed me to experience high-quality VR content without breaking the bank.

Another issue that Daydream solves is accessibility. Unlike other VR platforms that require a dedicated gaming PC or console, Daydream works with compatible smartphones, making it easy to use and accessible for a wide range of users.

Daydream also solves the problem of portability. The headset and controller are lightweight and easy to carry around, allowing me to experience VR content on the go.

Finally, Daydream provides a range of experiences, from games to educational content, that allow me to explore new worlds and learn new things. This has benefited me by providing a fun and engaging way to learn and experience new things.

Overall, Google Daydream has solved several problems for me as a VR enthusiast, providing an affordable, accessible, and portable platform for experiencing high-quality VR content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daydream?

First of all, Google Daydream is designed to work with a compatible smartphone, which is placed into a headset to provide users with an immersive VR experience. Google Daydream is super easy to use, comfortable to wear, and offers a range of exciting features. I have been using it almost for a year now.

One of the best things about this VR is its lightweight headset. It is comfortable to wear, even for extended periods of time. The straps are adjustable, allowing for a perfect fit, and the facepad is soft and breathable, which is essential for preventing discomfort and sweating during long VRs.

The controller that comes with the set is also well-designed. It is easy to hold, and the touchpad and buttons are responsive.

Google Daydream offers an impressive selection of VR apps and games. The platform has partnerships with some of the entertainment industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
