Google cardboard offers viewers the opportunity to experience virtual reality through the use of stereoscopic lenses in a cardboard frame. The user’s mobile phone is placed in the cardboard viewer and the correct app activated on the phone; the user then interacts using movement of their head and a magnet on the side. We love this customisable Google cardboard as it offers a great opportunity for the end user to experience virtual reality without the expensive price tag.

It comes with everything you need to experience Google-style VR: the cardboard housing (machine-cut to Google’s specs), two 25mm glass lenses, magnets, Velcro, a rubber band, and even an NFC tag (which Google designates as optional) you can use to launch the Cardboard app (assuming your phone supports NFC, also optional).
