It’s a poor person’s VR. Turns your phone into a VR headset. Ever sat on the couch and watched a bunch of YouTube videos? Or a TV show/movie? Put on the daydream, and you are sitting in a virtual theatre. It’s good when you need the house to be quiet because everyone is in bed. I’d say 90% of my Daydream usage is watching stuff like Youtube/Netflix.
It’s amazing when you are on a flight. It totally takes you away from the plane experience. Also really neat when travelling in general. Sitting in a hotel room watching content on a virtual big screen and not the pokey little hotel TV.
The cardboard is the super basic sibling to the Daydream. The Daydream has a hand remote controller that feels like a TV remote in your hand. It’s how you control the phone while wearing the headset. The Cardboard is a bit limited because you can’t really interact with it.
The photo sphere is still present on Android 14. It isn’t being taken away if you already have that feature.
Nobody talks about Daydream, but I have an old pixel 2 with Daydream and it’s great for these photo spheres.
I’m one of the dozens of people who likes Daydream and wishes it wasn’t killed off.
I never did figure out what daydream was supposed to be…

Oh, I never knew they made that. What the fuck, Google, why would you name a piece of Android related hardware the same as an Android feature.
Neither did Google
I have a daydream as well. They killed off all the apps for it. I tried to get it going on my newer pixel, and like nothing worked. Sad.
