Google brings Cardboard virtual reality headset to iOS

google-cardboard

Last year, Google unveiled its Cardboard virtual reality headset, a cheap way to get in on the rage that was VR.

At the time, Google said that Cardboard would only work with Android-based smartphones, but it didn’t take long to find a workaround for that . Now, not quite a year later, Google has updated its Cardboard virtual reality headset to support even bigger phones, and also bring support for Apple’s iOS mobile platform, too.

At this year’s I/O conference, Google officially announced a Cardboard app for iOS. With this app, as one might expect, Google Cardboard will officially work with Apple’s smartphones. The list of supported devices include:

  • iPhone 5
  • iPhone 5c
  • iPhone 5s
  • iPhone 6
  • iPhone 6 Plus

Once the app is installed and the phone positioned within the cardboard headset, users will be able to check out a virtual kaleidoscope, three-dimensional environments, as well as visit virtual museums and more.

Cardboard headsets can be purchased for around $20 from a wide range of companies, including Mattel, which has a View-Master coming this holiday season .

A link to the Cardboard app is available below.
