Google's official standalone daydream view still hasn't seen the light of day but partners like Lenovo are stepping in to fill that gap Lenovo just announced its new Mirage solo headset which uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 to power Google daydream without a phone it's completely standalone it uses the same daydream controller as the official model to control the virtual world around you The Mirage solo is bigger than a regular daydream headset but it's still pretty compact for all the power it's packing inside it puts most of the pressure on your forehead on like Google's model and it's remained pretty comfortable for the hour or so that we had to mess with it Lenovo's packing high quality lenses with a 110 degree field of view and that should keep everything nice and sharp while minimizing the screen door effect you're not gonna get quite as wide a field of view as something like the pi max of VR headset but it's pretty respectable for daydream oh yeah and since this is using a Snapdragon 835 you're also gonna get six degrees of freedom to work with that means you can duck jump and peek around corners to really feel like you're immersed in a new world without any wires alongside the solo Lenovo also announced the Mirage camera this is a stereoscopic camera that can capture 13 megapixel photos and video in a white of 180 degree field of view it doesn't have any sort of screen or viewfinder on it but you can easily see where you're capturing with the included app you can use this with Google daydream or just share it to YouTube or Google photos you can also livestream with this thing with the tap of a button there is a tripod thread built into the bottom so it's pretty obvious that lenovo wants you to take this with you wherever you go some run solo heads that's gonna cost you four hundred and forty nine dollars and emraan camera is gonna cost two hundred and twenty nine dollars both of them will be available in q2 of 2018 and make sure you stay tuned to android authority for all the latest because of course we are your source for all things Android
