We have added two Google Cardboard kits to our rentable equipment!

Google Cardboard is a virtual reality (VR) platform developed by Google for use with a head mount for a smartphone. Named for its fold-out cardboard viewer, the platform is intended as a low-cost system to encourage interest and development in VR applications.

The hardware side of Google Cardboard uses low-cost viewers, with the reference design made of foldable cardboard (hence the name,) 45mm plastic lenses and a magnet or capacitive-taped lever to operate the screen. Once you get everything folded into the right configuration (most kits come pre folded and assembled) you slip your phone into the front of the viewer (usually held in place by Velcro or rubber bands) and run an app designed to work with Cardboard.
