Despite the Google I / O 2016 Xiaomi was present to show "only" the new Xiaomi Mi Box with Android TV | Xiaomi Mi Box with Android TV is official |, he listened to the details about the new Daydream virtual reality platform. Basically, it is a system that needs the computational power and the smartphone screen to convey the images through a pair of lenses placed inside a compatible display. Google has announced that already many partners are working to make Daydream-ready smartphones and, among them, there is also Xiaomi.
In this regard, Vice President Hugo Barra has recently talked to Bloomberg about Daydream and about the challenges that need to be overcome to build smartphones that can support it. Unfortunately, from the words used we had the feeling that Xiaomi will not do anything like that until 2017.
He pointed out that it will be quite difficult for companies to start mass production of smartphones that have the minimum Google requirements. The biggest challenge is to have a display that can have a maximum delay of 20 milliseconds. Indeed, no smartphones currently on the market will be able to enjoy Daydream.
In short, we will probably not attend the presentation of any Daydream-ready smartphones by Xiaomi during the 2016. This means that maybe even the next top Xiaomi Mi Note 2 range will not be able to use Daydream.
