Google Cardboard has been around for quite a while, but not all of us are as familiar as we should be (or want to be). In this post, we are taking a closer look at the basics of Google “Cardboarding”, how it works, what models are out there and, most importantly, why you should give it a try and how to go about doing that.

So, let’s start at the beginning. Google Cardboard is a DIY virtual reality platform that works with your smartphone and is quite low-cost.

One of the benefits of Google Cardboard, besides the price, is portability. Some Cardboard models are fully collapsible, but even in their full form they take up very little space and don’t weigh much.
