Dream with Your Eyes Open: Say Hello to Google Daydream View

February 6, 2018 By Lena 119 Comments

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

Dream a little dream… I see you, daydreamer. I see your unfocused eyes and far off gaze. I see your soft smile as you picture palm trees in Aruba, window shopping in Paris, surfing in Hawaii or backpacking in Nepal.

Where do your daydreams take you?

For some, calendars are filled with travel and adventures, and for others, adventures may be defined as caring for a toddler, juggling two jobs or learning a new skill or trade. But for those momentarily grounded, why shouldn’t you have the ability to feel what it’s like to soar over mountains, hear the rush of falling water or the view the majestic beauty of nature-inspired landscapes?

Say hello to Google Daydream View.
Swim with seals, stand at the edge of a volcano – even explore the world’s most famous paintings in a virtual museum. The Google Daydream View is a headset and controller that lets you experience high-quality, immersive virtual reality (VR) from anywhere to virtually everywhere (see what I did there?). 

Step 1: Just slide in a Google Pixel or any Daydream-ready phone.*

Step 2: Adjust the headset. It’s made from soft, breathable fabric to help you stay comfortable longer. Plus, with a hand-washable facepad, you’ll be able to keep the headset fresh and clean to share with other daydreamers.

Step 3: Browse from an ever-growing collection of apps and games in the Daydream app – a home for all of your virtual reality experiences.

Step 4: Dream a little dream. In technicolour.

*Daydream-ready phones include Google Pixel, Google Pixel 2, Galaxy S8/S8+, Galaxy Note 8, ZenFone AR, Axon 7, Mate 9 Pro and Moto Z & Z2.

The best part? You can bring everyone along for the ride – share your Daydream experiences with friends and family by streaming what you’re seeing to Chromecast so others can watch along on your TV. Brilliant!

Are you ready to dream with your eyes open? One lucky reader will win a Google Daydream View, valued at $139! To enter, simply fill the form below with your qualifying entries. Good luck!
