Google’s AR / VR Knows Where You Are

Google made plenty of VR- and AR-related announcements at I/O, its annual developer conference today. Not only will Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and LG’s upcoming flagship be Daydream-compatible, but the company also announced that it’s working on standalone Daydream VR headsets. Enabling the latter is a unique technology called WorldSense, a new set of positional tracking tools that doesn’t require any cameras or complicated setup. This sets the Daydream headsets apart from the competition. The current HTC Vive, for example, needs external room sensors; Google’s upcoming headsets wouldn’t.
