The VR set is wireless, so you do not have to connect it to a computer or be restricted by wires or cables. Just place a compatible phone inside and clip the back cover to hold it in place.
The VR set and the phone automatically recognises each other and pair using NFC. So, far two mobile phones are compatible for the Daydream View, one is the Google Pixel.
The second phone that is Daydream View ready is the Google Pixel XL. The VR set comes you a controller that enables you interact with the virtual world created by the set.
The controller comes with sensors that track your movement in other to give you a good experience in the virtual world.
