Cardboard

Cardboard is an app developed by Google that lets you enjoy different virtual reality experiences with your Android. The only thing you need for this is cardboard virtual reality goggles, which you can create yourself. You can also buy any of the many commercial viewers found in many tech stores. But you can make your own viewer by simply following the Google tutorial instructions if you prefer.

Several demos in the Cardboard main menu let you test the app's potency and spectacularity. One of the most interesting ones enables you to fly over the Earth as if you were a supersonic bird, thanks to the joint technology of Google Earth. For this, of course, you'll also need to have that app installed. Other demos allow you to take a guided tour of Versailles, ride a fun roller coaster, or watch a beautiful sunrise on the coast. All these demos are completely free of charge.

Demos aside, Cardboard is fully compatible with a host of Android apps specifically designed to be enjoyed with virtual reality devices. Finding compatible games is very easy. All you have to do is search for VR games on any app store, and in a few seconds, you can download over a dozen interesting titles to make the most of the virtual reality viewer. There's everything from first-person shooters to underwater visits to the bottom of the ocean.

Download Cardboard to enjoy virtual reality with your Android. You only need a visor, either handmade or purchased at a tech store. The experience isn't perfect, far from it, but depending on the game or demo you're trying out, it can be pretty startling.
