Today the arrival of Android VR was indirectly confirmed itself at all by Google. Developers discovered a new tab in the Google Play Developer Console, in addition to Android Wear, Android TV and Android Auto, called Android VR. If you click on it nothing happens, but the addition of temporary placeholder says enough. Tech entrepreneur Peter Rojas was the first with the news that Google Wednesday headset will announce, after the news was soon confirmed by the famous Twitter account @evleaks. According to Rojas, the headset is better than the Gear VR Samsung, but the experience is not yet near the more expensive Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive.
