Google is developing their own Android powered VR device

Looks like Google’s interested in joining the VR race, developing an Android powered VR headset much more capable than the Google Cardboard.

Spotted by the folks at Android Police on Google’s Play Developer Console, the Android VR will be a standalone device that doesn’t need a phone or a PC to run. It obviously will pack less punch than headsets like the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive, because those have to be connected to a PC to work and have much more processing power at their disposal.

There’s also rumours that Google will be releasing a VR device that supports many a model of smartphone, like the Gear VR but with many more compatible phone options.

However, what’s interesting to note is that the device won’t need third-party apps, simply because Android VR will be built right into the OS. Speaking of OS, it probably will be native to Android N as well.

The headsets are set to launch next week at Google I/O from 18 – 20th May 2016 so stay tuned for more info as we get it.
