    It’s a poor person’s VR. Turns your phone into a VR headset. Ever sat on the couch and watched a bunch of YouTube videos? Or a TV show/movie? Put on the daydream, and you are sitting in a virtual theatre. It’s good when you need the house to be quiet because everyone is in bed. I’d say 90% of my Daydream usage is watching stuff like Youtube/Netflix.

    It’s amazing when you are on a flight. It totally takes you away from the plane experience. Also really neat when travelling in general. Sitting in a hotel room watching content on a virtual big screen and not the pokey little hotel TV.

      I though that was Cardboard? I only know Daydream as that screensaver thing that actually burns out your screen rather than saving it.

      Did Google rebrand Cardboard into Daydream?

        The cardboard is the super basic sibling to the Daydream. The Daydream has a hand remote controller that feels like a TV remote in your hand. It’s how you control the phone while wearing the headset. The Cardboard is a bit limited because you can’t really interact with it.

          Oh, I never knew they made that. What the fuck, Google, why would you name a piece of Android related hardware the same as an Android feature.
