When search giant Google crafted its ultra-affordable ‘Card board VR’ headset, with a minimalistic design, it introduced the masses globally to the immense potential of virtual reality (VR).

Going a step ahead, the company recently launched the Daydream View VR headset with improved design, better support and Bluetooth-enabled controller that doubles up as a remote to navigate around the Daydream’s interface, interact with apps and play games.

While the Google Daydream View VR headset is certainly a move in the right direction, what really sets it back, especially in India, is the rather slim list of devices that is supports.
