Into virtual reality with the help of cardboard? No, MacGyver has nothing to do with it! A strange but excellent combination comes from Google, which will bring the experience of virtual reality even closer to more people with the Cardboard VR Headset.
While millions, even billions of dollars are invested in the development of virtual reality, and the result is expensive 'toys' for rare tech enthusiasts, Google with 'just' a few dollars has supported a great idea that will bring the experience of virtual reality closer to the masses... which will all she needed to jump to the beach in the virtual world was a smartphone and a card!
The goal of Google's cardboard project Google Cardboard VR Headset is to bring the virtual reality experience to many people in a simple, fun and affordable way. All you need is a little do-it-yourself enthusiasm, a smartphone, and a few euros to buy Google Cardboard applications and the purchase of 'ingredients', which can also be found in a home workshop: cardboard, 2 lenses, a pair of magnets, velcro and rubber elastics.
The instructions are simple, the assembly is fun, and yes, the Cardboard VR Headset can be worn by people with glasses, and yes, even a large pizza box can be used to build this VR headset.
For budding developers, there are also codes and instructions for developing simple applications and games, as well as a lot of inspiration for the further development of ideas and projects that are in line with the vision of Google, i.e. accessible and useful products for everyone.
