So does anyone have any thoughts on Google Cardboard? I just ordered one just to play with and don't know what to expect.
Only reason I bought was cause it's less than $4 right now at the site below. (in case anyone else wants to join the fun)

It's only so low because they're about to announce Google Cardboard 2.
First time hearing about it, seems super silly and kinda weird and I would probably never use it but I like that it exists.
@JonT talk to your product sourcers. I see #GCF incoming.
I just gone my kit yesterday. The Google Cardboard demo app is kinda neat, just some small fun stuff to view (Tested with the Nexus 5).
The more powerful features is with some third party apps, I setup this one app, Trinus Gyre
with the server install on my computer (link in the app) to play some VR enabled games. The next test will be Minecraft in VR mode. Some people were able to get Skyrim running with this app.
The only warning is, it can quickly make you motion sick if you don't take breaks.
@The_Baron awesome! I'll definitely have to test this out when mine comes. When it comes to playing games though, how did you go about keeping the cardboard to your head?
@Trailmix That is on the list. I am going to tape or laminate the outside (whatever is cheapest) and affix some adjustable straps.
@The_Baron Good idea. Hopefully that works out! Mine won't be here for a while so I'll have a while to think on it. Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I have an old pair of snowboard goggles that are too small that I may be able to rig up.
Awesome!! In for 3!!!
@Trailmix Ordered one from the site you linked because it was dirt cheap. Got an email from hong kong... And now we wait. I expect the product to be cheap, let's just hope not too cheap.. Like cheap lens?
@trailmix Got mine today! It was a bit confusing setting up, but it blew my mind seeing my phone turn into a VR Headset.
That YouTube app is truly incredible. I did experience a good headache after using Cardboard for 15 minutes... But it was well worth it.
@TheAlmighty1 Got mine a couple days ago as well and it's definitely neat. I have a problem that the eye holes seem a little to spread out which causes there to be a small hole in the middle of my vision. It's still really cool though. If you haven't yet, try out Tuscany Dive.
