Google unveils the new Daydream View

Google is taking another stab at affordable virtual reality with an upgraded Daydream View headset. 

It has a new lineup of colors, "upgraded lenses," and a new fabric. Google unveiled the device at its Pixel event Wednesday in San Francisco.

The new Daydream view will be compatible with a YouTube library of original movies and TV shows customized for virtual reality. Its starting price is $99 — $20 more expensive than the previous model. The device will work with all Daydream-compatible phones.
