Daydream was announced at the Google I/O developer conference in May 2016, and the first headset, the Daydream View, was released on November 10, 2016. It is available for select phones running the Android mobile operating system (versions "Nougat" 7.1 and later) that meet the platform's software and hardware requirements. Google did not issue a similar update on the status of standalone Daydream, though the Lenovo Mirage Solo headset has been out of stock for quite some time now.The second-generation Google Daydream View headset with its controllerĭaydream View (1st gen): 6.6 in × 4.2 in × 3.8 in (168 mm × 107 mm × 97 mm)ĭaydream View (2nd gen): 6.6 in × 4.6 in × 3.9 in (168 mm × 117 mm × 99 mm)ĭaydream is a discontinued virtual reality (VR) platform which was developed by Google, primarily for use with a headset into which a smartphone is inserted. That was preceded by Hulu and even Play Movies & TV pulling support, though the latter encouraged users to leverage YouTube. Other supported devices include: Moto Z and Z2, LG V30, Asus ZenFone AR, Huawei Mate 9 Pro, and ZTE Axon 7. Similarly, the Pixel 4 does not have Daydream support, with the Pixel 3 being the last Google phone to feature the app and required backend services. We don’t expect users to lose account information or functionality for third-party apps as a result of Daydream no longer being supported by Google.Įarlier this year, Daydream stopped being available on Samsung devices with Android 10. Many of the third-party apps and experiences within Daydream may still be available as standalone apps in the Google Play store. However, the Daydream VR app is “no longer supported by Google and may not work properly on some devices running Android 11 or later.”
The Daydream headset and controller can still be used as a generic VR viewer, just like Cardboard. Google announced today that “Daydream VR software is no longer supported” and that it ended with Android 11.Ī “ Daydream service update” posted by Google Support (via Android Police) says that “you may still be able to access the service, but it won’t receive any more software or security updates.” At last year’s hardware event, Google stopped selling the Daydream View, while many apps dropped support long before that.
