With one major virtual reality success already behind it in the form of Cardboard, it appears Google is developing another VR headset made of sturdier stuff.
While Cardboard has proved a worthy and very affordable entry-level solution for those curious about stepping into another world via their smartphone, Google’s next VR effort will have a “solid plastic casing” and be “similar to Samsung’s Gear VR,” sources familiar with the matter told the Financial Times.
As you’d expect, Google’s reported VR unit, which could launch this September, will feature better quality lenses than Cardboard’s, and also incorporate sensors – just like the Gear VR – indicating it won’t be relying solely on the kit inside the smartphone to function.
