Not particularly secure on your face
Right now there's a severe lack of 'must-have' apps

Abstract: Virtual reality powered by smartphones is an awesome concept. While tethered VR systems like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift require expensive headsets and even more expensive gaming PCs, mobile VR requires just a cheap addition to something most people alre...
Motion controller works great, Lightweight, Mostly comfortable, Washable face cushion, Interesting choice of build materials, Solid value
Only compatible with the Google Pixel (for now), Pentile display makes reading text extremely difficult, Major performance issues with extended use (overheating), Not compatible with Google Cardboard apps, Could be a bit more formfitting
Google is hoping to hit a sweet spot with consumers by offering a VR experience that's both competent and affordable. The Daydream View is both of these things and, slight performance issues aside, anyone even thinking about investing in VR down the line...

The Daydream View is the simplest, most affordable way to turn a phone into an immersive VR headset...
Comfortable, stylish design, Extremely affordable, Controller accurate and intuitive
Not as visually sharp as competition, Lacks integrated audio
Google is on the cusp of VR greatness with the Daydream View. Made from comfortable, breathable athleisure, the VR headset is more stylish than any head-mounted display has a right to be. The included controller is intuitive and offers agile, rather accur...

Materials make device look and feel premium, Controller feels light but legit, controls feel natural, Works with Google's new Daydream VR software, Big name brands onboard for future software, Comfortable to wear and adjust on the fly
Price is too close to that of Gear VR, which is far more powerful, Not a lot of games available at launch, Does not come with protective cover for lenses, Wirelessness means limited VR time
The Google Daydream View headset and controller are two parts of a future I'm glad to be a part of. With it, I'm able to see new environments and play games that defy traditional notions of what computers are able to be for their users. I'm also able to g...
Inexpensive, Comfortable, Motion controller makes VR immersive, High-quality VR experiences
Not many apps yet, More Daydream phones are coming, but aren't here yet
The Daydream View is a solid first attempt at a mobile VR headset. It's comfortable and VR experiences look great. The only problem is there aren't many apps available for it yet. Hardware There are so many mobile VR headsets out there now that...
Design, quality, Comfort and adjustments, Very affordable, Remote is great
Still too heavy, Adjustment not quick enough, Pixel XL runs super hot
I can see affordable VR having a great place in our houses. Still, it's not a social experiment and will need to be added to our human interactions consideration, like don't check your phone at every notification when you're around others. But the experie...
