==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 View's screen but also as its processor and tracking device. For [[input]], Daydream View has a [[Daydream View Controller|small, remote-like controller]] with [[rotational tracking]] (3[[DOF]]) built-in. Neither the HMD nor the controller possess [[positional tracking]].
Announced on October 4, 2016, Daydream View was released in November 10, 2016 for $79. Users who pre-order Pixel or Pixel XL will receive the HMD for free.

==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 fabric is removable and washable. The overall feel of the HMD is simple and light without being cheap. It comes in 3 colors: slate, snow and crimson.
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 Controller===
[[Daydream View 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.
