You can buy a Daydream View VR headset to go with your Pixel phone soon


The headset will sell for $79 in the U.S. where it will be available at Best Buy and Verizon, in addition to Google's online store. (Google is also partnering with retailers in the UK, Canada, Australia and Germany.) 

Of course, you'll need one of Google's Pixel phones in order to take advantage of the headset — at least for now. Though most major Android manufacturers have committed to making Daydream-ready devices, Google's pair of new flagships are the only ones currently available. 
If you do have a Pixel, Google already has a decent amount of VR content lined up, including virtual reality versions of Hulu and YouTube as well as games and experiences from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Daydream View also has the unique distinction of being the first headset to offer a Harry Potter VR experience (based on the upcomingFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.)
