Upgraded Google Cardboard brings VR to more phones
2015-05-28
I'm here at Google i/o we know that
Google unveiled VR last year with
cardboard and they're back with more
cardboard this is a redesigned cardboard
headset as opposed to the landscape
where you're seeing a lot of expensive
rigs Google is going cheap this VR rig
works with a lot of phones and more
phones six inches plus and with the new
SDK you can create unity apps that are
going to be iOS and Android compatible
which means you could use this thing
like some people already are for iPhone
apps as well as Android there's also a
whole new platform called jump that lets
you shoot immersive videos using 16
connected GoPros if you want to make one
of these movies yourself and they shoot
in 3d videos so you're talking about 3d
immersive video they're gonna make this
jump platform available if you want to
view some videos later this year on
YouTube in the summer so right now I've
got this one on looks pretty much the
same there's a slightly different
capacitive foam button on top but
otherwise it's pretty much cardboard
