Google's Daydream is an exciting new platform that has been built on the Android 6.0, and would be baked into every new Android N phone that meets the Daydream's user requirements. It is essentially a progression of the Google Cardboard. The upgrade from a casual cardboard to full-on dedicated VR Headset speaks a lot about Google's commitments towards its VR ambitions.

According to people familiar with the matter, Google is internally investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in virtual-reality films and programs as part of a plan to line up exclusive content for the debut of Daydream service in the coming weeks.

Google would help promote projects from Hulu LLC and fund the production of 360-degree videos with YouTube stars like the Dolan twins and Justine Ezarik. On the software side, Unity and Epic have announced development support for Daydream on the gaming side of things.

Google claims that Daydream would not be limited to gaming, and would support movies too. It announced that its 360-degree camera rig called Jump has been picked up by the likes of IMAX, Paramount, The New York Times and others. So, an immersive movie and TV experience is on the horizon.

While Google has confirmed that Samsung, Alcatel, Asus, HTC, LG, Xiaomi and ZTE would produce phones that are "Daydream Ready," unfortunately, other low-end devices will not be able to support it.
