What is Google Cardboard?

I'm trying to update an old cardboard app, and have it 99% of the way there—I think—but my google cardboard config is wrong, or the library isn't picking it up properly... I'm using the "kraft" from knoxlabs.

a) is there a cardboard anyone would recommend for testing on an iPhone 16 pro? https://www.amazon.com/Cardboard-Headsets-Virtual-Comfortable-Smartphones/dp/B0CW9KP7FG?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=AH7ROAM6AW8X8 seems maybe?

b) is there an app you'd recommend testing, in case it's just mine/this version of cardboard sdk, ... (though I tried both my old app and the hello cardboard app).

Screenshot showing where calibration is putting the images... which feel about 30 degrees off when viewed through the cardboard...

// while I'm at it, the hit box on the X and settings gear are HORRIBLE, any thoughts on how to fix those? [[using unity]]

Hey guys, I'm developing an app for meditation among other things, which will feature a Google Cardboard style feature set.

Any insights from this community would be super valuable:

I have a 6.4inch a32 and I just searched and searched the internet but I didn't find a good cardboard vr in 10$. Pls recommend me good vrs

I haven't used google cardboard for 6+ years. What things should i try now? Is it even worth it to try a virtual monitor app? Like remote Desktop or so? Or should i just buy a xreal air? Kind regards

Hi, i recently heard about Google cardboard and thought it sounded like a fun stocking filler for my kids, but I'm not sure on the status of the project. Is gc still a thing we could mess about with or is it now completely dead. Thanks

If your phone supports 120hz, like the S23 or the S24, is it compatible with 4k 180VR videos from your regular DeoVR, GizmoVR or VR Home Teather apps?

Does it work just fine but perhaps drains the battery a bit faster?

Is their a vr media player for Android that can play gifs?

Has anyone tried the Galaxy S10 with a generic chinese headset with an app? Does it work well, or you can see the pixels? I saw that the Galaxy S7 has better PPI than any other phone released after that for some reason which was shocking, im just asking since I want to upgrade and I don't want to find out im seeing the pixels due the lower PPI. With the S7, while the fov is small, is just good enough for this usage, and the image is pretty crisp for such an old phone.

For reference:

S7:

Type: Super AMOLED Size: 5.1 inches, 71.5 cm2 (~72.1% screen-to-body ratio) Resolution: 1440 x 2560 pixels, 16:9 ratio (~577 ppi density)

S10e:

Type: Dynamic AMOLED, HDR10+ Size: 5.8 inches, 82.8 cm2 (~83.3% screen-to-body ratio) Resolution: 1080 x 2280 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~438 ppi density)

S10:

Type: Dynamic AMOLED, HDR10+
Size: 6.1 inches, 93.2 cm^(2) (~88.3% screen-to-body ratio) Resolution: 1440 x 3040 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~550 ppi density)

I was thinking about buying the S10, but the PPI is still lower than the S7, and the screen is bigger. Im hoping is not noticeable. Newer models have even worse PPI settings.

TL;DR: I need to repliace S7 for VR viewing, but screens after S7 have WORSE PPI than modern phones for some reason, which means pixels may be noticeable. What are the options? I also need to buy whatever best headset there is for phones because the ones I tried are like designed for asians with flat checkbones or something, all the weight sits on my nose.

Hi! After many years I wanted to view my old recordings in vr.jpg format, and instead I found out that it is probably impossible, because Google Cardboard has been canceled. I can't understand one thing. I downloaded and installed an old .apk of Google Cardboard, and there is still no option to play vr.jpg files in this apps. How is this even possible? I guess there should still be this option in the old versions? This vr.jpg format was so ideal to capture different locations, such as places where I lived. Now it's also time to move to another apartment and in a panic I'm trying to figure out the option to record the current apartment :)

Edit: I finally figured out how to restore it. My mistake was that I downloaded different versions of the “Google Cardboard” app, and the “Cardboard Camera” app should have been downloaded. But I'm stupid, but I couldn't find such information anywhere so maybe it will be useful to someone. Working link to the application as of today: https://apkpure.com/cardboard-camera/com.google.vr.cyclops/downloading

I've recently been using PhoneVR with a cardboard headset (not a cardboard headset but a cardboard headset) but the image is shaking, I don't know if it would be possible to stabilize or reduce that "noise" in the gyroscope data. I have seen some projects but all of that is very old. I have root, android 14 and a Redmi note 9 pro

I wanna find an app on phone for it to just double my screen and make them tiny for the cardboard that's all.

Is there a way to use Google cardboard headset and joycons with pcvr games?

I realise that Google Cardboard has been around for years, but to me itrepresents a simple way to view 360 photos.

The question I wanted to answer was - how do you view your 360 photos on the built in viewer in Cardboard? I had to dig around for a while to find the answer, with only one comment showing the answer. (https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleCardboard/comments/3ybr5u/comment/cycalcu/)

You need to rename your photo to PANO_yournamehere.jpg then it will be picked up by the Cardboard viewer.

Thanks goes to brodecki for sharing this.

So I’m on iOS and xash 3d vr is only on android 4.03 to android 10 I think so I got it working on utm but utm doesn’t support gyro and headtracking so it’s just the screens in one at this point so I need help to run it on iOS does anyone have a soloution cause I really need this lol

I just found my old google cardboard. Watched a few movies. Now I wanna know what can I do with this thing?

Can I play games or something on it? (I have some wireless controllers for that) (XBox controller not VR Controllers)

Or should I just put it back where I found it?

Como dividir a tela inteira do Android para realidade virtual? Estou falando do telefone inteiro, tela dividida para vr como o Google Cardboard. Existe alguma maneira de fazer isso? Isso permitiria que você jogasse virtualmente qualquer jogo em vr. (Estou no Android 12)

Não estou falando sobre como usar a realidade virtual. Quero saber se é possível dividir a tela (ou duplicar a tela em ambos os lados do telefone) para ser usada com realidade virtual (tela inicial, sistema, tudo). O app SBS já não é compatível para esse Android e o app2vr não funciona no lsposed, motivo? Não sei, mas se alguém poder ajudar eu seria imensamente grato 🥲

Is there any app that supports hand tracking and floating screens with pass through background

I am starting a project to create a game for Google Cardboard. I would like to gather people who already have programming knowledge or know how to make games for Google Cardboard. The idea is to begin with small games and gradually progress to developing complete games.

Hi all,

I am currently working on a breathing exercise scene for a project and would like to get some user testing done to see what people like, don't like etc.

It is a simple enough breathing exercise set in space, where the user collects energy particles as they inhale, over a number of breathing cycles.

If anyone is interested in testing the scene, please comment on this thread and I can send you a build privately. You will of course need a VR HMD / headset for your smartphone to be able to test it properly.

Also, if anyone knows of any other good reddit pages where I could do this kind of testing I would love to hear it!

Thanks,

Shenko

All I can find is monscopic 360 vr videos converted to stereoscopic, which is not true 3d

I recently got a Insta360 One X2 and want to upload 360 video that is works with google cardboard on iOS and Android. Do any of you know an app or website that is able to do this?
