One of the quirky / cool / amusing give-aways at Google I/O this year was a piece of cardboard. Although this wasn’t just any piece of cardboard. It was a kit that, when all assembled, transformed into a cheap Oculus Rift style augmented reality head piece when paired up with your phone and accompanying app. It’s a pretty nifty little piece of…well… cardboard that I love to play around with.
Google has already posted instructions of how to make your very own Cardboard and have given links for all the supplies but if you would rather just get all the supplies from one place (including pre-cut cardboard) then you might want to head over to Dodocase.com. Dodocase is most well known for their high quality cases but it looks like the guys over there are a bunch of nerds like us and want to help out their fellow nerds by doing some of the hard work for us.
If you head over to their site you can pick up your very own cardboard kit for just $20! After factoring in shipping to Canada it comes out to $30 US which is still a bargain for your very own virtual reality machine! Hit the link below to get to their site.
