Google Daydream VR boasts of virtual reality "wherever you are", via a VR headset and controller. According to Google, users can experience new worlds and even personalize virtual cinemas and games that will put them squarely in the center of action --- giving the "first-person POV" a whole new meaning.

As of December 12, it looks like Netflix is joining HBO, EA, and several dozen other companies as the newest partner of Google Daydream VR. The launch of this media streaming company's Daydream app marks another win for VR. Available for download from the Google Play Store, a lot of users have already spotted similarities between Netflix's Google Daydream VR app and its existing app for Samsung's Gear VR (as the name suggests, also a VR app by Samsung).

The Netflix Daydream VR app places the user in a virtual log cabin and gives them a big screen for their Netflix queue. While no offline Netflix support exists for this app yet, people are confident that it will be added soon. There's also word of possible different features for "Google Pixel" and "Google Pixel XL" owners, as far as the Daydream VR app is concerned. What these are is anybody's guess at this point; Google is yet to confirm or deny these speculations.

Nonetheless, the Google Daydream VR app remains one of the better ways for the openly curious to start experimenting with VR. It's cheaper than Samsung's Gear VR, as well as highly interactive and immersive (thanks to its controller), and promises user-friendliness and comfort without compromising performance and quality.

Netflix is just one of the multiple options now available on Google Daydream VR. Joining the lineup is one of EA's most popular car racing game franchises: Need for Speed. Netflix also shares the television streaming category with HBO Now, which brought the highly popular Westworld and Game of Thrones to the silver VR screen.
