谷歌采取了双轨并行的内容策略：一方面与传统媒体合作，另一方面积极与YouTube头部创作者建立合作关系。据悉，公司正在资助多位知名网红制作360度全景视频内容，其中包括拥有千万粉丝的贾斯汀·艾扎里克(Justine Ezarik)。

2023年8月，谷歌正式推出Android 7.0"牛轧糖"操作系统。新系统原生支持VR功能，用户只需搭配Daydream View头显即可获得沉浸式体验。谷歌计划通过应用、视频和游戏三大内容支柱推广Daydream平台，并建立类似Play商店的VR内容分发体系。
In August 2023, Google officially launched the Android 7.0 "Nougat" OS. The new system natively supports VR functions, allowing users to enjoy immersive experiences with just the Daydream View headset. Google plans to promote the Daydream platform through three content pillars - apps, videos, and games - while establishing a VR content distribution system similar to the Play Store.
移动VR战略构筑竞争优势
Mobile VR Strategy Builds Competitive Edge
在竞争白热化的VR市场，谷歌的Daydream平台采取了独特的市场定位。不同于索尼VR需要搭配游戏主机，或Oculus、HTC Vive等高端PC VR设备，Daydream延续了Cardboard的平民化路线，仅需智能手机即可运行，大幅降低了用户体验VR的门槛。
In the fiercely competitive VR market, Google's Daydream platform has adopted a unique positioning. Unlike Sony VR requiring game consoles or high-end PC VR devices like Oculus and HTC Vive, Daydream continues Cardboard's mass-market approach, running on smartphones alone, significantly lowering the barrier to VR experiences.
这种"移动优先"的战略使Daydream在价格敏感的大众市场占据优势。据分析，Daydream设备的售价可能仅为竞品的1/3到1/5，这种价格优势将帮助谷歌快速扩大用户基础。
This "mobile-first" strategy gives Daydream an advantage in price-sensitive mass markets. Analysis suggests Daydream devices may cost just 1/3 to 1/5 of competitors', a pricing advantage that could help Google rapidly expand its user base.
