During a visit to Vietnam over the holidays, I journeyed south through the Mekong Delta, on a five-hour road trip from Ho Chi Minh City to Tra Vinh. Most of the people here make their living by planting and farming rice. However, since this region has experienced severe droughts and saltwater intrusion year after year, life has been particularly grueling for many families.

Kids in this part of the country typically don't have access to a computer until they're about 15 years old, and when they do, they usually only receive very limited training. Of Tra Vinh's 25 primary schools, only five have computer rooms. This is in stark contrast to the more urban areas of Vietnam, where nearly every school has access to computers and an Internet connection.

Nothing can beat seeing the kids' excitement as they rushed into the newly-equipped computer room. It was remarkable to see how quickly they learned how to use a mouse and keyboard to navigate the Internet. Even more thrilling was witnessing how empowered they were to explore the world around them by typing in whatever question they had in mind into the search bar. I had to smile when Nghĩa, an 8 year-old student, told me: "I have hundreds and hundreds of questions to ask and now I'm not afraid of anyone yelling at me for asking so many questions".

It's incredible how much these 10 year-olds picked up in just an hour. I'm truly excited about all the many other things they'll learn and do for their communities when they bring along their curiosity to these new rooms that give them a window to all of the information and possibilities on the World Wide Web. 

In November, we launched Daydream with the goal of bringing high quality, mobile VR to everyone. With the Daydream View headset and controller, and a Daydream-ready phone like the Pixel or Moto Z, you can explore new worlds, kick back in your personal VR cinema and play games that put you in the center of the action.

Daydream-ready phones are built for VR with high-resolution displays, ultra smooth graphics, and high-fidelity sensors for precise head tracking. To give you even more choices to enjoy Daydream, today we're welcoming new devices that will soon join the Daydream-ready family.

ZTE Axon 7: Powerful and high-performance at an affordable price

With hi-fi audio, a 5.5-inch WQHD AMOLED display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, the ZTE Axon 7 is powerful, yet affordable. The phone will be Daydream-ready with the upcoming Android Nougat upgrade.

ASUS ZenFone AR: Experience VR and AR on the same device

The ASUS ZenFone AR will offer immersive Daydream experiences with its WQHD Super AMOLED 5.7 inch display and Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor.

In addition to being Daydream-ready, the ZenFone AR will also be Tango enabled. Tango gives the phone augmented reality (AR) capabilities through Tango's three key technologies: motion tracking, depth perception and area learning.

With these technologies, you will be able to experience dozens of smartphone AR apps like Lowe's Vision, which lets you measure interior spaces and visualize furniture, and Slingshot Island, which turns your phone into a slingshot that hits and destroys dragon eggs on a floating AR island.

Huawei Mate 9 Pro & Porsche Design Mate 9 phones + Huawei VR headset

The Huawei Mate 9 Pro and Porsche Design Mate 9 phones each features a WQHD display and the latest HiSilicon Kirin 960 processor, so you will be able to enjoy Daydream with great visuals and performance.

Alongside the phones, Huawei has been working on a Daydream-ready headset for launch at a later date. The Huawei VR headset is built to be easy to use. It has an adjustable focus so it can be used without eyeglasses, and provides a 95° field of view. By bringing new headsets onto the Daydream platform, we hope to give consumers even more choice in how they enjoy VR.

From being at the center of epic underground dance battles to experiencing courtside live streams of NBA games with the NBA League Pass, there's a rich portfolio of Daydream apps, games and immersive videos you'll be able to enjoy with the new ZTE, Huawei and ASUS devices.
