The editors didn't like
No Sense of Depth
Lack of Engaging Content
Needs HD Visuals To Be Truly Engaging
Limited Handset Support
Not particularly secure on your face
Right now there's a severe lack of 'must-have' apps
It only works with Google Pixel and Moto Z for now (more on the way). The headset is front-heavy and frequently needs adjusting. There's limited app selection at launch and you can't walk around or grab things in VR

Washable face pad, Storage slot for controller within headset, YouTube VR curates 360 videos into one place
Smaller field of view than Gear VR, Not much to experience in Daydream (yet), Pixel XL sticks out of the headset, Controller constantly needs recalibrating

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...

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...
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...
