Qualcomm have been touting their 6DoF inside-out tracking solution for two generations now. As far as I am aware, this is the first device to actually use it (a last minute swap from it previously being announced as using Google's WorldSense tracking solution), and even with devkits out there I am unaware of it being publicly demonstrated, and nobody has had the opportunity to actually evaluate its performance objectively.
Correction: Oculus is the main competitor of Google daydream with its Oculus store and hardware like Gear VR and the upcoming Oculus GO.
So, Google is left with only Lenovo now, guess not many companies will like to get into this unprofitable VR Standalone device market unless they can make profits via software sales on their own store/platforms.
They seem to be overestimating the size of the market. This isn't like buying Playstation games from the Playstation store, this is like having to buy games from the AOC store just because I have an AOC monitor.
I'm already concerned VR itself is not big enough to attract AAA game type budgets. The best experiences I've got with the Vive have been ports of existing PC games (with their larger budget and audience) to VR, but keeping the high-detailed environments.
They see an opportunity to be the de facto VR content distribution platform *in China*, and that's what they're going after. Maybe they think that investing in the Chinese market will foster development of compelling content that can help carry their platform into other markets... I don't know. But if they're trying to build a competitor for Google's Play store, then it's understandable that they don't want to help Google by building a 6-DoF HMD for Daydream.
Cool! Along with the launch of Vive Focus, HTC also announced a range of top-tier applications and platforms to be the first to release within its product, among which VeeR was honored to be a selection. https://veer.tv/blog/veer-launched-vr-support-vive...

High resolution and oled shouldn't be used in the same sentence. This is probably a 1080p pentile screen that looks like 720p.BMNify - Wednesday, November 15, 2017 - link
