[[Daydream]] is a [[Virtual Reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Google]] for [[Google VR]]. To use Daydream View, users need to mount a [[#Daydream ~~Certified~~ Phones|Daydream ~~certififed~~ Smartphone]] inside it. The smartphone serves not only as Gear VR's screen but also as its computer. Unlike other mobile [[HMDs]], Gear VR does not solely rely on the smartphone's [[IMUs]] for tracking. It has additional IMUs and Oculus' [[rotational tracking]] technology built within, allowing for fast and accurate tracking of the user's head movements. While impressive, the current Gear VR does not possess [[positional tracking]].
