Wearable Cardboard?

By yikwah on August 7, 2014

Since week 12 was on wearable technologies, I thought that it was poignant to share that the Google Cardboard VR kit was trending on twitter. At first I thought it was a joke, but after having now seen several videos and reviews of the item, it seems as though Google is attempting to illustrate that VR experiences need not come at a hefty price tag. In analyzing the marketplace for VR, we need to look no farther than the case of Facebook purchasing Oculus VR (at a price tag of $2 billion USD) to know that VR is a technology that is trending upwards.

For those of you who haven’t yet checked out Google Cardboard, you can see it here:

Enjoy. 🙂
