Google Cardboard V2 (3rd Gen) is our latest edition to include High Definition Lenses featuring premium optical resin increasing screen clarity and resulting in a sharper virtual reality experience on Apple iPhone and Android mobile phones.
The new HD Edition of Cardboard 2.0 now offers an enhanced HD VR experience which was once only found in premium headset models.
We've made a few small changes - one being that we've upgraded the build quality to a stronger cardboard material (compared to previous editions) making it more robust and reducing overall signs of wear and tear.
But don't worry... everything you've come to love about Google Cardboard is included such as elastic head strap (for hands-free use), interactive button and one-step pairing mode.
- Experience immersive VR environments like no other headset out there.
- Turn your phone into a 3D virtual reality playground with interactive demos, games, virtual tours and more to explore.
- Just move your head to scroll through the environment and use the top switch button to interact.
It's incredibly intuitive, and equally impactful. It's amazing how such a simple idea can transform your smartphone in seconds.
