At this year's I/O conference, Google announced a new VR standard that may have the ability to bring VR to the public. This standard is called Daydream, it is an open source helmet that includes a controller that is compatible with high-performance Android phones. Daydream will be available in September, the price is unknown, but certainly not low.
If Google reaches its goal, Daydream's price will be cheaper and easier to use than the original VR helmet, because Google is trying to refactor Android software and match it with VR. Every Android phone in the future may be implanted in the kernel. VR function.
Google's choice
On Daydream, Google chose the golden mean. Its helmet is made of soft material (like fabric). It can be easily loaded into the phone. It is hooked with a hook, just like the hook on the bottle cap. You can enter the VR world. The controller that controls the helmet is a bit like a TV remote. You can use it to grab objects, flip the pancakes, and fish in the VR world.
Not only that, you can also walk through the streets of Paris through Streetview, you can watch YouTube videos on the IMAX screen, and the device may not be very expensive, it is estimated to be only more than 100 US dollars, because it will compete with Samsung Gear VR.
Google developed Daydream helmets and controllers to provide them as reference designs to manufacturers, and companies may compete with each other to lower prices. Your next Android phone can be used as a mobile phone and may become the best VR helmet.
Why is Daydream much better than mobile VR products? For example, Cardborad, Samsung Gear VR? Simply put, hardware and software are much better.
Hardware and software advantages
At the software level, Google developed Android N to adapt to VR. Developers can program the software to fully exploit the performance of the mobile processing core to meet VR configuration requirements, such as high frame rates. For users, Android allows us to fly freely in the VR world. Wearing a helmet, Andorid users can enter a new app called Daydream Home, which is similar to the virtual 3D environment with an app management tool. Android N can support several mobile VR core applications. This means you can purchase products on the VR version of Google Play and use Streetview and YouTube in a VR environment. For now, if you want to use a VR helmet on your Android phone, there are very few VR programs you can choose. Now we are using the phone itself, Android N may use Daydream VR to replace the phone.
At the hardware level, Google has persuaded manufacturers to develop so-called "Daydream Ready" phones with many partners, including Samsung, HTC, Huawei, Xiaomi, LG, and HTC. What constitutes Daydream Ready? Google did not disclose the details, it seems that they will share some basic performance specifications, such as processor, GPU, RAM, additional sensors, similar screen design, loading a special set of lenses in the phone to transmit high-quality VR for users. The phone will then be authenticated. The Samsung Gear VR works well, mainly because it has additional sensors installed. Daydream distributes all the technology to the phone, and many of the VR experiences will end up being as good as the ultra-simple, lens-only Cardboard helmet.
Don't underestimate the role of the controller
How good is the Daydream experience? It's hard to say before the actual use, Google did not demonstrate at the I / O conference. Some high-end helmets have full six-axis tracking capabilities, such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, which Daydream doesn't have. On Daydream you can look up, look down, and rotate 360 ​​degrees. When you head forward or lean back, the angle of view will not change. Yes, the immersive experience will be discounted, but in my personal opinion, VR can be amazing even without a full six-axis function.
In addition to the Daydream helmet, Google also introduced a controller that is somewhat similar to the Nintendo Wiimote, just more mini. Google did not disclose specific technical details. It seems that this is a motion-sensing remote control that supports gesture recognition, just like the Nintendo Wii. There is a touch pad on the top of the controller that you can tap to slide.
Don't underestimate the impact of the controller on future VR. Google hopes to transfer control to the mobile VR industry in the same way, through the approachable industrial design, will not make users feel strange. Google wants its helmets and controllers to overwhelm other similar products in terms of comfort and intuitiveness.
So far, mobile VR relies on the head, a button to control, playing 20 minutes will be quite painful. There are quite a few handles and other controllers that can be supported. The problem is that many hardware manufacturers have their own standard development products, and APP developers can't find a benchmark at all. Even if the app can technically support the handle, it won't work very well, because developers can't write the corresponding program for 10,000 different controllers. Google tried to rule all with one controller.

The original A grade product is mainly mono crystalline and half cut cell solar modules, with a power range of 400watts to a maximum of 700watts.quality warranty is 25 years.
A grade, this type of film is characterized by a neat and uniform appearance, printed electrode grid lines, no broken grid, no surface stains, no leakage, no aluminum package, no hidden cracks, no scratches, no black core, no reverse current, stable electrical performance, and high conversion efficiency
Using solar cell testing equipment to measure and screen, the conversion efficiency, filling factor, and appearance that meet certain standards are first level. Generally, the conversion efficiency, filling factor, and appearance of first level are better than those of level B
The level of solar panels can be divided into first level, second level, third level, and fourth level, and the first level components can be divided into first level+and first level - two levels. The second level is also the same, and the cost difference between different levels of solar panels is also very large.
