Daydream aims to provide users with high-quality, interactive, VR experiences.
Designing apps for VR is substantially different than for other platforms,
particularly because poorly designed applications or performance issues can make
some users feel nauseated.
These pages help you assess quality in your Daydream app through a compact set
of functional and user interaction quality criteria. This helps you meet the
expectations of Daydream users for high-quality, comfortable VR experiences.
