The Analysts Findings About Android VR

However, Peter Rojas added that the upcoming Android VR will be not as vigorous compared to Vive or Rift. But, Android VR can give its users a much better virtual reality experience than the Gear VR.

"This year's focus will be virtual reality, no doubt," Jeff Kagan, an analyst, said, as per Computerworld. "I believe Google wants to be a leader in virtual reality and, in this marketplace where there are no leaders yet, I think they will try and secure their place in the front of the line."
