我要评论After months of anticipation for Google's virtual reality headset, we finally got a look at the company's most serious venture into VR hardware and it was...underwhelming.。
SEE ALSO:Google's new VR headset is just $79 。Called Daydream View, the device looks almost exactly like the so-called reference designs the company showed off back in May at its I/O developer conference. Except there's one major difference: The entire device is wrapped in soft fabric. 。
Yes, really. 。

Although it's important to note that I haven't had a chance to touch the new VR device, after several years of experience with the Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, I can safely say that soft fabric isn't the killer feature missing from VR headsets. 。
Presented in a material that looks like gray sweatpants, View appears to be designed around the idea of making wearing VR headsets a lot more comfortable to wear. Yeah, but…VR headsets are "wearable tech" in name only. 。

Mashable 。
reporter Karissa Bell who attended Google's event, the feel of the fabric varies between jersey knit material and felt. But a Google team member claims that the fabrics are designed in a way that won't readily show stains. Nevertheless, unless you have ability to remove the fabric, stains (sweat, food, etc.) during extended use of the device seem inevitable.
。To its credit, Google did give the device a large removable face cushion that hand-washable, so at least that component won't be destined to build up gunk from everyday use. 。

That's odd, since, on the software side, Google has delivered cutting-edge experiences like Tilt Brush and Google Arts & Culture, which takes you into museums and historic sites around the world via VR. 。 Credit: Mashable, Jason Henry 。The fresh approaches to VR embodied by those projects aren't shared by Daydream View, whose only major features above the Samsung Gear VR are its wireless controller and a price point that's about $20 cheaper. Yes, the controller as a VR wand, stick, gun, etc. is a solid step ahead of the Gear VR. But really, it feels more like 。
