New experimental features for Daydream

Google's AR/VR team announced new experimental features for the Daydream platform, specifically for the Lenovo Mirage Solo headset, to enhance virtual reality experiences. These features include support for 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) controllers, which allow for more natural hand movements in VR without the need for expensive external hardware, utilizing machine learning and optical tracking. Additionally, a new see-through mode is introduced, leveraging WorldSense technology to integrate physical and digital worlds, enabling applications such as augmented reality prototypes. Finally, the capability to open smartphone Android apps in VR is presented, allowing developers to adapt existing 2D applications for a virtual reality environment without extensive redevelopment. These innovations aim to make advanced VR experiences more accessible and versatile for both developers and users.
