The All new exciting app from google "Google Cardboard"

Google’s New CardBoard App

         Google is famous for bringing out something unusual and surprising every time and it lived up to its reputation with its new Cardboard App. With just a pair of plastic lenses, some art with cardboard and the result you get is a virtual reality handset.
        Well it is not easy to believe but this new app from Google does makes it as easy as it sounds. You just need to download two apps from Google playstore i.e. Cardboard app and Cardboard camera. These apps are free in contrast to the apps from Nokia or other providers which charge you for their apps with similar features. You can order your cardboard kit to watch these VR ‘s from Playstore.  But if you are really the hard working type and want to build your own kit Google comes to your rescue there also. It has uploaded the procedure to build the kit. You can get the procedure from below link Google cardboard


Now after creating so much frenzy, let’s get into the details of how this app really works.
First you need to download Cardboard app and Cardboard Camera. It is available on playstore for free.




These images give you a highlight of what you will experience after installing this app.
After installing the Cardboard Camera you can begin making your own motion movies. You can switch off the microphone if you don’t want to record the sound. Now you just need to launch the camera from cardboard app Portrait mode and start taking a VR photo. Anyone who has the experience of taking  a panoramic photo can do it quite easily. There just one thing you need to keep in mind, you must move the camera real slow otherwise you will get a message to slow down a bit. Also you must move the camera in one direction only. If you change the direction, you VR photo recording will stop and you need to start once again.

Thus you get a 180® view of the recording. Well the elements in the picture will not be moving. It is basically a stillframe moment but you get the natural sounds of the scene. With the kit on year head and the headphones in your ears, it will definitely take you into a different world. There are loads of apps compatible with this cardboard camera and they have a collection of different VR photos for you to enjoy. One moment you are on a beach enjoying the cool breeze, the next moment you are into earth’s orbit enjoying the view from the top.

The images made from this app are typically 4-10 MB in size. The only thing about this app which is heartbreaking is that you cannot share this VR’s. There no share option in this app. So you must hand over the phone if you want someone to enjoy the same scenery you enjoyed and captured.


This is what the cardboard kit looks like. Well I think you need to hurry up and get yourself one of these and experience something like never before.
