What is Google Cardboard?

Since the app was made for daydream, it asks me to pair the controller when I install the daydream app, deleting the app asks me to install it, even tho I can see behind the pop up that the app has support for Google cardboard navigation

is there a way to turn my phone into a 2d vr display for my pc via usb without scenary or anything

​

Hi all,

I am currently working on an app utilising google cardboard tech (built in Unity) and am wondering does anyone still make projects with / for cardboard anymore (or other 3rd party smartphone VR headsets)?

I am having trouble with some parts of the programming and finding it difficult to get answers online about what parts of the API are still usable and how to use them.

In this case specifically I have managed to get the Recenter() function working with the EditorEmulator, but am having trouble getting it to work on my Android device when I build.

The API is telling me the line I am using is obsolete (InputTracking.Recenter();) but the line it recommends using doesn't work either (XRInputSubSystems.TryRecenter())

Any ideas on this, or is anyone in this community still working with or on Google cardboard projects?

Idk but there is a cardboard home menu (the cardboard demo itself) but it doesn't have any games, so is there one?

I've been experimenting with unity and AR plugins but I can't seem to get anything to really work. I've seen some videos on AR with google cardboard but I'm just trying to make it like the apple vision pro. I have a galaxy samsung s20 fe. If anyone knows how to do this please help.

Maybe a silly question.

I don't have Google cardboard but a cheap Aliexpress alternative that works. I tried a few clips on YouTube, but they either have

-the split view (which makes a 3d video)

or

-the gyro function turned on (which gives me a 360 degrees look around).

But.. I want BOTH in one video! :) am I missing something? Only both gives me the full vr experience.

As far as I know, 360-clips without split screen are not 3d and cannot be viewed with the cardboard, right?

Hey guys i think i will buy the bobovr z6 for my ohone and i want some suggestions about what can i do with it( my phone is samsung s20 plus) and some advice about apps or the vr headset itself is it good or is there any good similar product in this price range (and please don't recommend me the occulus quest 2) because the price difference is really big and i want something just for fun and impress the family especially that i will buy it from aliexpress for about 20 dollars

Hello, so recently, I thought how it would be to see the world but in VR lenses, and I did search the Internet a lot but did not find anything. By the way, I don’t have Google Cardboard, only a VR headset that works like it (kinda useless but ok). On short: Is there any camera app on iOS that works with Google Cardboard?

Random question, say I were to download an APK of an oculus game. How would I be able to run it inside of Google cardboard?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows why I only have 2 options on the google cardboard app, I can only click tutorial and explorer, not anything else like the arctic adventure experience. Thanks (Edit: this is for iOS)

All of the DIY templates from 8 years ago are very tiny compared to modern phones. I've looked through Google but could not find any larger cutout templates.

Is there an easy way to upscale the available templates? I figured that simple upscaling would mess with the viewing angle.

Is there any app that shows the phone camera in the vr, like quest 3 (without interaction, etc, just showing the camera, like the when you tap two times in VRidge)

This is my idea (using S20+):

SteamVR -> GPU HDMI output/DP output -> 4K 60hz Capture Board -> USB Output -> Two USB-A inputs to one USB-C input addapter -> Phone -> 2nd USB-A -> PC -> Software -> SteamVR

Sorry for bad english, but if it works, it would be soo nice

It work?

I'm looking for a video player that could play standard videos (I mainly plan to watch anime) and it can show burned-in subtitles. It turned out to be quite difficult task on Android...

VRTV is perfect, but there's one problem... It crashes every time for me. It's random and I can't tell what's the issue but it's often (usually after 5-10 minutes, sometimes it survives even an hour without crashing)

Could somebody help me with finding a good VR video player?

Whenever I look up 'Google Cardboard' it just comes up with temu and aliexpress stuff

Hey guys n gals,

Been looking around the Reddit and also on YouTube, and seen some examples of AR Core being used for positional tracing on mobile VR headsets.

Defo sparked my interest, but just seems to be a spattering of comments and short examples of small Unity projects etc.

Are there any apps that actually use this phenomenon? It's kinda cool using it on the Daydream Mirage Solo for 6DOF movement in 3DOF apps, but would be great to see it on mobile apps as well. Thoughts?

Hi folks,

Hope all's well. Hadn't used any of my VR stuff for a while, but getting back into it. I have an Oculus Go, and a Mirage Solo. Good screens and lenses, but not great for travelling.

I have Gear VR, Daydream, and cardboard on my S8 Plus, so have the best of both (3 LOL) worlds. Don't like the optics on Daydream View, and Gear VR headset magnifies too much, so even on highest resolution, pixelation is awful.

Wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a good headset which is light and portable, and doesn't magnify to the same extent as the Gear VR. Also wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a good controller for standard cardboard VR apps. I have a little VR Park Bluetooth job, but it's kinda shit 😂.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

The cardboard design lab app lets you explore more of the map. A lot of it (especially the end part) is quite pretty. It just has that early-mid 2010's google charm, y'know? It also has 2 roller coasters.

Fulldive doesn’t work anymore, youtube pulled the plug, any fulldive alternatives?

I bought my cardboard to explicitly watch animes via Crunchyroll, but since Crunchyroll doesn't support Vr directly from the App, I wanted to download a cinema app or sth like that to open Crunchyroll in the browser and watch it there. I'm struggling for 2 hours now, anyone know a good App where this is possible?

I got myself a vr set that doesnt have a qr code, so i don't know how to get my cardboard working or vr services. Any help is useful.

I have an android 12 btw

edit: I got it working, the samsung internet browser seemed to be the problem, on chrome browser works. Thanks for the help

I'm wondering if I am able to use the DJI fly app with Google cardboard so I have a cheap fpv flight mode, without spending hundreds on FPV goggles from DJI. Is it possible to just use the app with the google cardboard display?

Can someone recommend games for Google Cardboard Cardboard? I tried to find it in the Play Marker, but I didn't find anything interesting for myself...

Hallo,

auf meinem alten Handy hatte ich mal ein Spiel, dass permanent über die Handykamera gesteuert wurde. Man "bewegte" sich also in der normalen realen Welt. Aber an manchen Stellen erschien ein "Portal" in Form einer schwarzen Tür. Wenn man da durch ging, war man plötzlich (natürlich nur auf dem Handybildschirm) in einer anderen virtuellen Welt.

Ich weiß leider nicht mehr, wie das Spiel hieß. Ich weiß nicht mal mehr, ob es gut war. Es muss aber wohl viel Speicher gefressen haben und weil mein altes Handy nicht so viel davon übrig hatte, musste das Spiel schnell wieder verschwinden. Nun hab ich ein neues Handy mit viel Speicher, und ich würde dieses Spiel gerne nochmal ausprobieren.

Wisst Ihr, um welches Spiel es sich wohl handeln könnte?

Is it possible to create an immersive experience using Cardboard? (BoboVR Z6, RiftCat +GameWarp license, Driver4VR and Kinect)

Is there a better solution for this? like better controllers, better software? If yes, please tell me.

i haven’t upgraded my iphone to iOS17 yet because i’m worried the cardboard camera app won’t work on it. i have several pics in there that i need to still access. the app is no longer supported so it’s a gamble. has anyone upgraded to 17 and can still use cardboard camera?
