==Introduction==[[Daydream]] is a [[Virtual Reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Google]] for [[Daydream]] [[|Daydream Platform]]. To use Daydream View, users need to mount a [[#Daydream Ready Phones|Daydream ready Smartphone]] inside it. The smartphone serves not only as Gear VRView's screen but also as its computerprocessor and tracking device. Unlike other mobile For [[HMDsinput]], Gear VR does not solely rely on the smartphone's Daydream View has a [[IMUsDaydream Controller|small, remote-like controller]] for tracking. It has additional IMUs and Oculus' with [[rotational tracking]] technology (3[[DOF]]) built within, allowing for fast and accurate tracking of -in. Neither the user's head movements. While impressive, HMD nor the current Gear VR does not controller possess [[positional tracking]].
Announced during [[Google I/O on October 4, 2016]], Samsung Gear VR Daydream View was released in November 10, 2016 for $79. Users who pre-order Pixel or Pixel XL will receive the HMD for free.__TOC__==Daydream Ready Phones=====Google===*[[Pixel]] - Released on October 20, 2016 for $649 *[[Pixel XL]] - Released on October 20, 2016 for $769 *[[Pixel 2]] *[[Pixel 2 XL]] ===Motorola===*[[Moto Z]] - Released on June, 2016 for $400 *[[Moto Z Force]]

==Hardware==
===Design of HMD===
Daydream View consists of a plastic body wrapped in soft and cushy fabric. The HMD fits over most eyeglasses and the outer fabricis removable and washable. The overall feel of the HMD is simple and light without being cheap. Unlike [[Gear VR]]It comes in 3 colors: slate, which has [[IMUs]], fans snow and microUSB port, Daydream View has only [[lenses]] and a [[NFC]] tag concealed within the front cover. The HMD does not need to be connected to the phone, the NFC tag detects the phone when it is in placecrimson.
Unlike [[Gear VR]], which has [[IMUs]], fans and microUSB port, Daydream View has only [[lenses]] and a [[NFC]] tag concealed within the front cover. The HMD does not need to be connected to the phone, the NFC tag detects the phone when it is in place. View not only relies on the phone for processing but also for [[tracking]] (3[[DOF]]). The front cover of the HMD is mostly open. It relies on a spring-loaded hinge below, an elastic hook above and few high-friction pads to keep the phone in place. This method allows the HMD to be compatible with phones of various sizes and thicknesses. Additionally, there are 2 black capacity pads that touch the phone's screen. These The HMD detects when the phone is in place and these pads align adjust the VR views with screen to the lensescorrect position.
Unlike many other HMD, Daydream View does not have a top strap. It has 1 strap that goes horizontally across your head. It does not use velcro, instead the HMD uses plastic loops to adjust, tighten and loosen the straps.
===Problems===
[[Light leak]] and [[lens glare]] are two of the problems with the Daydream View. Because the HMD is designed to accommodate phones of various sizes, light from external environment can enter the HMD from the side of lenses. In scenes of high contrast such as white objects on a black background, you'll see thin layer of light around the edges of your view.
'''With Pixel'''
[[Screen door effect]] is less noticeable on View than on [[Rift]] or [[Vive]]. Black smear, dark areas of the screen that smear across light areas during head movement, occurs due to OLED’s inability to change true black pixel colors very rapidly.
===The Controller===
[[Daydream Controller]] is a small, remote-like [[device]] with [[rotational tracking]] (3[[DOF]]). It allows the user to intuitively point at objects in VR with a mouse cursor. In addition to 3DOF tracking, the controller has a trackpad and 2 round buttons on top and 2 volume buttons on the sides. The controller is wireless and is recharged through a USB-C cable.
