Google is reportedly announcing a standalone Android VR headset next week

Looks like a Samsung VR competitor, probably a simple housing that you pop your phone into.

Im just quoting the story man,
Im guessing it will be something similar to the Samsung VR headset.

According to the article, and all those tweets, it is a standalone unit, NOT like Samsung Gear VR
