Question about Google Daydream View

I would also be very interested.
I currently still have a Nexus 5x.

If I understand it correctly, it is only a "headset" as a piece of hardware and okey, the controller. I think you should be able to use the pure headset without any problems, it's just that the "Daydream" technology (whatever that means) is only built into the Pixel for the time being.

So if someone has a Daydream headset and also uses it regularly like any other VR glasses / Cardboard with a 5x / 6p, then I would also order one right away.
Any experiences?

According to Google: No.
I think it should work with tricks. But I don't have any sources at the moment.
