Google is reportedly working on a virtual-reality version of AndroidAndroid is coming after Oculus Rift, the Wall Street Journal reports

Android is moving from mobile devices to virtual-reality headsets, according to a new report. TheWall Street Journal, citing two unnamed sources, reported Friday that Google has tasked a group of engineerswith developing a version of Android to can power VR applications. "Tens of engineers" are working on the project, according to theJournal, which will be freely distributed like its cousins for smartphones, tablets, and wearables.Google declined to comment on the report, which included few details about how Android VR will look or when it might become available. The move comes in the wake of Facebook's $2 billion purchase of Oculus, and Oculus' subsequent move to develop new forms of storytelling powered by VR. VR dominated this week's Game Developers Conferencein San Francisco, where a new headset from Valveand progress on Sony's Project Morpheuswere among the biggest developments.TheJournalreports that Android VR is being led by Clay Bavor and Jeremy Doig. Bavor is partly responsible for Google Cardboard, a low-cost, do-it-yourself alternative to expensive headsets that turns your smartphone into a viewer. The Cardboard app has been downloaded more than 1 million times since it became available last summer.
