After months of anticipation for Google's virtual reality headset,the joy of sex video game 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 $79Called 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.

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.
In practice, VR headsets are less like a smartwatch or wrist tracker (which need to be comfy to wear for long periods of time) and more like an accessory that needs to be both ergonomically well designed for comfort and sturdy for extended use -- like, for example, a computer mouse.

According to Mashablereporter 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.

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 halfa step.
Again, to be fair, I haven't had time to live with the Daydream View like I have with the Samsung Gear VR. So I'll hold out hope that there may be more to this product than meets the eye.
But as it stands, after years of wishing for something more substantial from Google than Cardboard VR viewers, Daydream View is a bit of a disappointment.
