Google Cardboard

Scott has been talking about Google Cardboard, how cool it looked and how some schools were using it in classrooms.  I wasn't convinced, something called Cardboard did not seem hi-tech, it sounded more like one of Google's April Fools Jokes.

When I got one in the mail at work from a vendor, I brought it home so we could try it out and see what it was all about.  I'll have to admit that Scott was right - it's pretty darn cool.  You put your phone in the googles, and using a special app with the goggles, you're off on a virtual reality adventure.  In this app, the boys were exploring Neptune.

When my parents were over, Scott showed Chuck how it worked, he was pretty impressed as well.  I've also heard that if you add headphones to hear the sounds from the app, it's an even more 'real' experience.  

Pretty cool - you should definetely check it out!
