Google Cardboard is a somewhat recent and highly addictive platform developed by Google. It is basically a Virtual Reality (VR) platform that uses your smartphone and a simple VR viewer that is made of cardboard. These cardboard viewers were designed to keep the cost down and to encourage software developers to create new VR applications for the platform.
What can you do with Google Cardboard?
Here’s a few things that you can do with Google Cardboard:
- Take VR photos that allow you to look around and experience 3D panoramic photos with depth and sound
- Play interactive 3D games
And the list grows bigger each days as new apps are developed and released.
So, if you have a SmartPhone and an extra $15 to spend on the viewer, give it try. It’s really a lot of fun.
This reminds me of the View Master I had as a child, only way cooler as it is 3D, has sound and all the amazing places to explore.
