At last year’s I/O, Google dipped its toe into the virtual reality waters by announcing Daydream (above). Like Gear VR before it, Daydream requires a phone to be inserted into a headset to operate. However, Variety is reporting that Google is set to unveil a VR headset that is completely standalone—no phone required.
It’s not clear what software this device would run, but Android seems like a good choice. Google already has lots of Android VR components ready to go.
