At the Google I/O keynote, Google didn't bring the new virtual reality headset as rumored. While many were disappointed with no stand-alone Android VR headset that was seen, Google came up with the pretty exciting Daydream platform.
The Daydream platform is meant for the future phone-based VR devices including new viewer hardware, next-gen handsets, VR-friendly controllers, and a fresh set of apps that will take advantage of it.
Google is highly optimistic with the Daydream platform
Google seems to be aimed at making the virtual reality platform a mass market offering. At the Google I/O, Brahim Elbouchikhi, the senior product manager stated that there will be hundreds of millions of users using the Daydream devices in a couple of years.

Android apps getting optimized for VR platform
Daydream is nothing but a VR platform for many Android apps, especially content streaming and gaming. Play Store has been redesigned to support Daydream letting users browse and download the apps from a 360-degree shelf.
Even Google Photos and YouTube have been optimized for VR letting users view regular content on a virtual movie screen apart from watching 360-degree videos in a normal fashion.
News publications such as Hulu, Netflix, HBO, and others also support Daydream.
