Google Daydream View hitting retail worldwide on November 10

Google was able to see Lenovo’s Project Tango phone kick off sales today, but in addition to augmented reality, there’s also a development in the virtual reality world today… well, technically Project Tango is working under the wing of Daydream VR, but it’s another kick-off of sales anyways.

Google’s own Daydream View headset will actually come offline for sales at $79 in the US, $99 in Canada, $119 in Australia and £69 or €69 in the UK or Germany. The magic date for sales and first shipments is November 10.

In addition to the Google Store, you may choose to wait to buy the teched-up piece of lovely upholstery at Verizon stores across the United States. Canada will see the sets at Rogers, Telus and Best Buy while Europe will get them at EE, Carphone Warehouse and Deutsche Telekom. Aussies can head over to JB Hi-Fi or Telstra.

In nine days, the new headset officially will usher in a new Daydream VR platform for Android Nougat with a new mission for how the operating system will interface and play in a new medium.
