I'm standing next to the Taj Mahal looking up at history to get closer I wave a magic wand it's all because I'm wearing a headset that unlocks a secret power inside my phone this is daydream by Google until today there were only two real ways to turn your phone into a doorway to another world this cheap piece of cardboard and a big plastic headset that only worked with Samsung phones now there's the daydream view compared to Samsung's gear VR it's lighter made a breathable fabric and Google wants every smartphone maker to hop on board also it costs just 80 US dollars and unlike most game focused VR headsets daydream let's see teleport around the world type in any address in Google Street View saying your parents old house and your their record a 360 degree photo with Google's cardboard camera app and the daydream headset will make it feel like you stepped into a memory it's also a private theater for all of YouTube and any movie you rent from Google Play including YouTube videos that say teleport you underwater to swim with dolphins or into the kitchen with your favorite YouTube celebs I wasn't kidding about that magic wand it comes with a tiny we like remote that lets you point where you want to go tap out text on a virtual keyboard or anything else developers dream up it's way better than having to tap your temple to get things done but that just isn't a lot else to do in daydream right now it's just a handful of apps today compared to four hundred plus experiences you can find on Samsung and unless you have a Google pixel the only phone that works with daydream right now there's no point in rushing out to buy one but do yourself a favor starting today when you go on vacation use that cardboard camera amp to take some 360 degree photos you may regret not doing it if daydream catches on you
