The device works with Daydream Ready phones, connects and uses NFC to detect your phone is present wirelessly (no connectors) and uses auto alignment to allow quick and seamless entry and exit from VR – informed by capacitive pads on the View headset, where they touch the screen, tells the phone how to orient the image.
Daydream View consists of a plastic body wrapped in soft fabric. The overall feel of the HMD is simple and light without being cheap. Unlike [[Gear VR]], which has [[IMUs]], fans and microUSB port, Daydream View has only [[lenses]] and a [[NFC]] tag concealed within the front cover. The HMD does not need to be connected to the phone, the NFC tag detects the phone when it is in place.


The padded faceplate interface itself is detachable, and is said to be breathable and hand-washable, possibly making way for the possibility of multiple inserts.
The front cover of the HMD is mostly open. It relies on a spring-loaded hinge below, an elastic hook above and few high-friction pads to keep the phone in place. This method allows the HMD to be compatible with phones of various sizes and thicknesses. Additionally, there are 2 black capacity pads that touch the phone's screen. These pads align the VR views with the lenses.


Fits over glasses nicely.
