Google tries hard to justify the price of the Daydream View by adding just a little bit extra to it. It looks like a VR headset but Google has used soft breathable fabric to coat the Daydream View inspired by the clothes we wear. This not only makes it more comfortable than plastic VR headsets like Gear VR but also stylish as well. The highlight of the Daydream View is that there are no pesky slots to put your smartphone in. You just drop the Daydream-ready smartphone in and the auto alignment system in the Daydream View will adjust the smartphone. The Daydream View comes with its own controller that can be used to interact with the content that is playing on the smartphone. The controller understands hand gestures and you just wave to interact instead of pressing buttons. The controller can be easily stored inside the Daydream View so that you do not lose it.
