Clear off a space on your work desk. It's time to get all MacGyver with Google Cardboard.
Google gave developers who attended I/O a cardboard do-it-yourself kit that turns into a virtual headset. The company said it wanted everyone toexperience virtual reality in a "simple, fun, and inexpensive way" - even though not everyone was lucky enough to attend the annual conference in sunny California. No worries. If you were one of the many who were left out, you can easily build Google Cardboard at home.
All you need for materials is a printed template, a few household tools and items, and your Android smartphone of course. Still interested? Keep reading to learn more and get started. Pocket-lint has detailed every step of the process below, and we even provided cheap suggestions for the $20 in supplies
you'll need.
UPDATE: For those of you who want Google Cardboard but can't be bothered by the whole do-it-yourself thing, you can always purchase a $20 "unofficial" Google Cardboard from San Francisco-based Dodocase. The service pre-cut's the cardboard for you and ships all the necessary parts.
