Back in May, Google showed off reference designs for VR headsets that could be produced by partners on its Daydream VR platform. However, we don't know if the VR headset from Google will follow the same form factor as the company's earlier reference designs, which look a lot like the current Samsung Gear VR headsets and target mobile VR users.

The report also claims that the Google VR headset will use the company's new smartphones as its display and, in line with earlier reference designs, use a handheld controller instead of a touchpad like the one featured on the side of the Samsung Gear VR device.

If this report is true, the $79 Google VR headset would be priced competitively versus the Samsung Gear VR device, which currently sells for $99.99.

Google has not confirmed the report of a new VR headset, but with only hours to go before the company's event, we won't have long to wait to find out if this latest report is accurate.
