-‘google cardboard’ is a ‘virtual reality (aka ‘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’ + ‘development’ in ‘VR applications’)
(users can either build their own ‘viewer’ from ‘simple’ (+ ‘low-cost’) components using specifications published by ‘google’, or purchase a ‘pre-manufactured one’)
(to use the ‘platform’, users run ‘cardboard-compatible applications’ on their ‘phone’, place the ‘phone’ into the back of the ‘viewer’, and view content through the ‘lenses’)
(the ‘platform’ was created by ‘david coz’ + ‘damien henry’,2 ‘ google engineers’ at the ‘google cultural institute’ in ‘paris’, in their 20% “innovation time off”)
(it was introduced at the ‘google I/O 2014 developers conference’, where a ‘cardboard viewer’ was given away to all ‘attendees’)
(the ‘cardboard software development kit’ (aka ‘SDK’) is available for the ‘android’ + ‘iOS operating systems’; the SDK’s VR View allows developers to embed ‘VR content’ on the ‘web’ as well as in their ‘mobile apps’)
(through ‘march 2017’, over 10 million ‘cardboard viewers’ had ‘shipped’ and over 160 million cardboard app downloads had been made)
.
(following the success of the ‘cardboard platform’, ‘google’ announced an ‘enhanced VR platform’ (‘daydream’) at ‘google I/O 2016’)
