Google's Carboard VR experience is now also available for iPhone users.
Thanks to Google iOS, users can now witness things in a virtual sphere as well and that too for less than users would expect. On Friday, Google released cardboard for iOS to the App Store. The move means that the super cheap virtual reality equipment will also work with Apple iPhones.
The Cardboard for iOS app is free and is combined with a DIY mount for a mind-blowing VR experience, the amount costs $20 only, which is pretty cheap for such an amazing gear. The VR gear is available for iPhone 5 down to the latest model.
This week at the annual I/O 2015 developers conference, Google also revealed some changes that have been made to the Cardboard, one crucial modification being the fact that the Cardboard can now support phones sized up to six inches, according to latest Google updates about its ongoing projects and innovative ventures which were brought to light in the auspicious keynote.
Unveiled at the annual I/O 2014 developers’ conference, the Cardboard was designed specifically for Android phones, therefore it was limited in terms of device support, moreover, it was only available on Google Play. However, that has taken a 360-degree turn with the Cardboard for iOS now out.
The reviews are coming in pretty quick and from what we’ve gathered, Cardboard for iOS seems to be doing really well; the process of assembling the mount is pretty simple, a three step process actually. Moreover, the VR experience is pretty smooth with Cardboard for iOS; it is no different than the Android Cardboard experience.
The iPhone 6 cardboard experience is pretty smooth as well, actually it is even better than Nexus 5 and 6, some reviews report that it is so far their favorite Cardboard VR experience. Let be it the device itself, resolution, or the new headset size, with the iPhone 6, it all comes together as the best Cardboard experience yet. Do check it out, if you are an iPhone user, the VR experience will barely cost you anything, and it goes without saying that it is all worth it.
