Google is working on an Android version for Virtual Reality

After the war that is already coming on the smartwatches market, it seems that another is about to come much more fiercely. It is the market for Virtual Reality. Recently we talked about Lakento MVR, or Oculus Rift, yesterday we told you everything we know about the Samsung Gear VR here, not long ago about CastAR and also developments that Facebook was doing about it.

And it seems that nobody wants to miss the chance to win a market that already existed but had never fully exploited, but rather the opposite. Taking advantage of the technological fever that much of the world society is living, one that joins to the virtual truck of Virtual Reality is Google, which already has a team working on an Android version.

Google has an Android -or try to have- prepared to be virtual part of everything we can imagine. On the way we saw with Android Auto, TV, or Wear, now it's the turn of the Virtual Reality.

Each of these paths has tried to get as much shine as phones, but for now do not enjoy much success in the market, or are too young to determine whether projects will be triumphant. Wall Street Journal is in charge of telling that Google has a team working on a version of Android, specifically to deal with the Virtual Reality.

A relatively small team working at it from the point of view of a platform, with its specific operating system and development tools. We have already seen that the idea of ​​the helmet liked, with devices like Cardboard or View-Master.

It is truth that this year seems to be very active with regard to helmets and technologies related to virtual and augmented reality. HTC lives, or the helmet of Sony, it seems that the proposals are more liking among those who have been able to try them in person.

As we can understand from the leaks, this is a different path than was raised with augmented reality of Google Glass, this is a side project. Possibly end up having a presentation at the next Google I/O 2015.

Mobile World Congress 2015 is over and has left us a lot of great news on apps and devices. For example, the new Samsung Gear VR. a virtual reality grlasses fully adapted to the new Samsung Galaxy S6. This development provides some improvements in search of a higher quality experience.

There have been quite dittos that have been a commercial failure in the history of technology. As a technology, virtual reality has much to say here. Recurrently has been a disappointment after another, a few well-meaning prototypes that have not been accepted in the market.

The new Samsung Gear VR, which have already been seen on MWC 2015, features Oculus technology but is still not a final product, as there is not even time to market, but most likely not be delayed many months since Samsung Galaxy S6 will be on April 10.

With Samsung Gear VR we can watch movie trailers and other videos like we were in a real cinema. It is very striking to see the film on a screen that feel "distant" taking near a cinema seat. We can turn our head and look up and see walls, light bulbs, projector on the wall. In shor, the whole room, also other environments, such as a small warm room into a home theater. It is a curious effect that makes the experience more enjoyable, even if they are not real.

For the moment now there are no movies in the Samsung store. Samsung recommends to use in sessions of 30 minutes and rest after to avoid dizziness caused by prolonged doses. Yo can also upload your own videos and watch them, you can do it without problem.

One of the main things that call our attention is that you can watch videos in 360º. You can imagine whatever you can and be doing it through a video game, a trailer or an app. You can look down, forward, sideways, backwards, and admire all that landscape. That's what this is about: a fully immersive experiences. Samsung Gear VR is lots of fun, literally.
