Does anyone know if the headset is supported by the Nexus 6P?
The 6P is a very capable device and I don't see a reason to upgrade mine. But I am thinking of trying out some Daydream VR development.
I know that till now, 6P was the only device to develop for Daydream, but I'm wondering how well would it work with the actual headset released today. Maybe just run at some low fps but not too bad for trying it out? Or is the headset locked for only "Daydream certified" phones (I doubt they'll lock out the 6P though).
"Caution: The 6P's thermal performance is not representative of the consumer Daydream-ready devices that will be launching later this year. In particular, expect the 6P to thermally throttle CPU and GPU performance after a short period of use, depending on workload."
Sounds like a home-made heatsink could increase performance for that device. And based on the photos of Daydream, I'd say there's room to install one... I think getting good heat transfer connectivity might be tough (does that device get hot on the front or back?) and weight might be a problem.
