Just a few years ago when Google debuted its quirky-looking entry to the mobile VR world, people thought it was just a gimmick. Google Cardboard was a step in the right direction, which is now led to the creation of the Google Daydream platform.

If you own a basic VR headset that goes from anywhere between $5–$50, you can now have a window into a sea of VR content. Thanks to the Google Play Store, there are a bunch of apps designed specifically to bring you the best of professional and independent VR content from all over.
