Google Daydream VR headset features

The headset will communicate wirelessly with the phone and even adjusts the vision automatically using an auto-alignment system via NFC.
Google has developed Daydream View VR headset working with clothing material makers to get that soft fabric feel instead of the generic plastic stuff that every other headset has. The result of which is a soft textile-like finish for the headset complete with a few different colour options which include slate, snow and a rather different crimson. It’s also eyeglass friendly for those folks out there with prescription glasses.
