The new lenses in the Daydream View 2 are a custom fresnel design which Google claims it manufactured after running masses of simulations to figure out the ideal lens design (as per RoadtoVR). On top of that, Google has taken steps to improve the look of the virtual world no matter what handset you’re using. Although those phones should also be compatible with the original Daydream View headset, bringing handsets like the Google Pixel 2 to the table means the potential for an improved visual experience when in Daydream VR. With the announcement of the Daydream 2, Google also expanded the number of compatible smartphones with the platform. However, the few number differences that exist between the two headset generations don’t tell the whole story. The controllers are the same, the sensor suite is the same and the color options aren’t even that different. The only real changes by the numbers are a slight increase in the dimensions and weight of the 2017 model, a mildly expanded field of view, and a price bump of $20. Looking at the specifications, you’d be forgiven for thinking that not much has changed between the two versions of the Daydream View.
