'''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. It was first announced at the [[Google I/O]] 2014 developers conference, where it was introduced as a simple and affordable way to experience VR.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
Google Cardboard is designed to be a low-cost system that uses a fold-out cardboard viewer. The viewer is made from low-cost components and assembles into a basic VR headset. Users can place their smartphone into the back of the viewer and look through the lenses to experience VR content. The platform is compatible with both [[Android (operating system)|Android]] and [[iOS]] devices.<br />
<br />
== Components ==<br />
The Google Cardboard viewer consists of the following components:<br />
* A piece of cardboard, which forms the body of the viewer.<br />
* Lenses, which provide the necessary optical adjustments.<br />
* A magnet or capacitive tape, which acts as a button for interacting with the smartphone.<br />
* A rubber band to hold the smartphone in place.<br />
* Velcro strips to secure the viewer.<br />
<br />
== Applications ==<br />
Google Cardboard supports a variety of VR applications, including games, educational content, and immersive experiences. Developers can create their own applications using the Google Cardboard SDK, which is available for both Android and iOS.<br />
<br />
== Discontinuation ==<br />
Google discontinued the Google Cardboard hardware on March 3, 2021, but the software development kit (SDK) remains available for developers to create VR experiences.<br />
