So Qualcomm came out recently and announced that its Snapdragon 835 would be powering Google’s stand-alone Daydream VR HMD. Digitimes is reporting a few more details than what Qualcomm laid out in February.



The company is working with Ximmerse on controllers to optimize Qualcomm’s Snapdragon mobile platforms for high-precision drift-free tracking and low latency.

Qualcomm is integrating Bosch Sensortec’s BMX055 absolute orientation sensor for precise and high-frequency inertial measurements and OmniVision’s OV9282, a 1-megapixel high-speed global shutter image sensor, for precise feature tracking.

Meanwhile, the first batch of standalone VR HMDs based on the Daydream standalone VR headset reference design co-developed by Qualcomm and Google are expected to hit the market at the end of 2017, according to a Gizmo China report.
