This page needs its stylesheet to be shown

The app listing, the version table and the download step are laid out by this site’s stylesheet. With stylesheets switched off, or blocked before they arrive, none of that layout exists, so the page is not shown.

Allow CSS for this site — including in any content blocker or privacy extension that may be stopping it — then reload the page.

What the Cardboard app is for

Cardboard is Google's app for running virtual reality on a smartphone. It is meant to be used with a Cardboard viewer, the folding headset that holds the phone in front of your eyes. The listing says you need a viewer to get the full experience.

The listing also warns against using the app while driving, walking, or anywhere that pulls your attention away from your surroundings and from traffic or safety rules.

Launching VR experiences on a phone

The main use is opening VR experiences you already want to run. The app gives you one place to start them from, rather than sending you to separate launchers for each one.
