Google announces standalone VR headsets

At the Google I/O developer conference, it was confirmed that Google with HTC and Lenovo are cooperating to release standalone VR headsets. Such VR glasses do not require any additional hardware, such as a smartphone, a PC or external sensors. The VR experience is supposed to become easier, more comfortable and more immersive in this way, as cables are dispensed with.

Das autarke VR-System basiert auf Googles Daydream-Plattform, während gleichzeitig ein Inside-Out-Tracking auf Tango-Basis verwendet wird. In dem Gehäuse des VR-Headsets sind demnach Sensoren verbaut, die die Umgebung scannen und die Position im Raum bestimmen. Das Ganze läuft unter der Bezeichnung „World Sense“ und soll besser als andere Lösungen dieser Art funktionieren.

Qualcomm's reference design, which is equipped with a Snapdragon 835 processor, serves as the technical basis for the new VR headsets, which, by the way, will be released later this year. That could even Eye-tracking mean. Unfortunately, no price details have been given so far. Interested users will have to be patient for a while.
