Google Cardboard is a virtual reality (VR) platform developed by Google. Named for its fold-out cardboard viewer, the platform is intended as a low-cost system to encourage interest and development in VR applications. "Google Cardboard" apps are available on both the Google Play store and the Apple App store.
Google Cardboard was announced at the Google I/O 2014 developers conference, held on June 25–26, 2014. Initially released as a do-it-yourself kit in the form of a folding cardboard viewer, Google has since partnered with several manufacturers to develop ready-to-use viewers. The platform has been adopted by a number of educational and entertainment applications, including Google Earth and YouTube.
A Google Cardboard viewer typically consists of two lenses held in a frame, with a trigger button mounted on the top. The viewer is inserted into a smartphone, which provides the display and processing power. Google Cardboard apps use the phone's gyroscope and accelerometer to track the viewer's head movements, so that the user can look around the virtual environment by moving their head.
Google Cardboard viewers are available from a number of manufacturers, including I Am Cardboard, Mattel, Goggle Tech, and Unofficial Cardboard. Viewers range in price from 50. Google has also developed a "Works with Google Cardboard" certification program, to help ensure that viewers meet certain quality standards.
