The move isn’t totally unexpected, given that Google had previously promised to open up the platform to all developers in 2017 back when Daydream was announced, but it’s a welcome change nonetheless.
In order to ensure that Daydream apps meet a certain level of quality, Google has also published a page of Daydream app quality requirements to ensure that any VR experiences meet Google’s standards. Developers will also be required to provide some unique assets for a VR app, including a 360-degree photosphere and VR icon, along with a Motion Intensity Rating.
