Google Cardboard

Who would have thought it?  So what is Google Cardboard, I here you ask?

Google Cardboard is a fold-out cardboard smartphone mount that, when combined with lenses, a magnet, a piece of hook-and-loop fastener and a rubber band and held against the face, affords a virtual reality experience. 

Google cardboard gives you a movie theatre experience through you viewing a 5 inch device

Watch the movie below it explains it all!



There are options with Google Cardboard to either purchase it from amazon or make your own DIY version. DT department eat your heart out as below is a link to the Kit you will need to make your own. Resources to make the DIY Google Cardboard

So now that you've got your Google Cardboard, what can you do with it?

There are so many cool free apps you can install and use with Google cardboard;
  • Hang Gliding
  • Flight Sim
  • Tuscany House
  • Roller Coaster
  • Moon
  • Invasion
  • Underwater
  • VR Video
