Not yet. Daydream requires Nougat version 7.1.

Nothing has been said so far about whether the Moto Z / Z Force will be Daydream compatible and/or certified Daydream-ready once it gets Nougat. Still waiting on info, though Nougat is supposed to come by the end of the year.

The Daydream videos worked on the Droid Turbo . I would imagine they would work on the Z Force .

Confusingly, Daydream is also and now the name of Google's new virtual reality headset that was introduced with the Pixel and Pixel XL. This topic is about the VR headset, not the old Daydream "screensaver" system app.

I tried the store demo daydream with mine when I got the 7.0 update today. It worked pretty well. Didn't see any issues

Well, there you go. The reporting from the Pixel announcement that daydream required 7.1 appears to be wrong then.

Really? That's good news.

Okay when I went into Hulu and moved around it was a little jumpy but that's all so far

Was going to sell it but with the update coming I might not.

I just ordered one with news that the update is rolling out, and is supporting Daydream. Looking forward to playing, though Cardboard makes me feel a little "off" after 15-20 minutes. Hopefully the higher quality imagery & overall more polished implementation will help with that.

I'm curious what your safety concerns are?

The damage to eyes because of perception variants and having LED's so close.

I loved my Gear VR. Hopefully the Moto Z Force Droid plus Daydream will be comparable

It sounds like most reviewers have preferred the remote control interface of Daydream vs the on-device controls of the Gear VR. We'll see.
