Google launches Daydream View 2 VR Headset High-Quality Lenses

During the huge Google event, Google has also updated its virtual reality headset Daydream View. The differences are not radical compared to last year’s device: there are new colors, in line with what we saw in other Google products, especially Google Home Mini. Even the used fabric material is also the same as Home Mini.

Google Daydream View 2 VR headset has high-performance lenses, which results in better image clarity and a wider field of view. It features a premium two-tone fabric that makes the headset soft and light, and it comes in three new colors: Fog, Charcoal, and Coral. The VR headset comes with the same controller and basic features as the first Daydream View. It measures 6.6 x 4.6 x 3.9 inches and weighs in at 9.2 ounces.

Google says the latest iteration of the Daydream View 2 has a wider field of view (roughly 10 degrees more than the original). It includes a redesigned face pad, the addition of a top strap, and a new magnesium heatsink and venting solution.
