===Design of HMD=== | |||
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. | Daydream View consists of a plastic body wrapped in soft fabric.

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. | The front cover of the HMD is mostly open.

Unlike many other HMD, Daydream View does not have a top strap. It has 1 strap that goes horizontally across your head. It does not use velcro, instead the HMD uses plastic loops to adjust, tighten and loosen the straps. | |||
