| vivster said: Google knows very well that their platform is in direct competition with Samsung's Gear VR. Samsung will not be amused about it and there will have to be some negotiation before anything Daydream touches Samsung devices. It could be Gear VR supporting Daydream with a Samsung branded Daydream VR device. Or they'll just collect licensing for Daydream VR devices to work with their phones. Maybe even a full on cross connectivity with Samsung content delivered through Daydream. We'll see what kind of deal they'll strike. |
i agree that they'll eventually will make a deal to combine the android VR efforts, but for now and maybe for the next year or two Samsung will pretty certainly try to make good profits on their various VR related investments (Oculus partnership/investment; Gear VR-give away at S7 launch; building up Gear VR store and investing into various games/videos/content etc)
