This SDK provides everything you need to create your own Virtual Reality (VR) experiences for Google Cardboard. It supports essential VR features, such as motion tracking, stereoscopic rendering, and user interaction via the viewer button. With these capabilities, you can build entirely new VR experiences, or enhance existing apps with VR capabilities. You can use the Cardboard SDK to turn a smartphone into a VR platform. A smartphone can display 3D scenes with stereoscopic rendering, track and react to head movements, and interact with apps by detecting when the user presses the viewer button. To get started, you'll use HelloCardboard, a demo game that demonstrates the core features of the Cardboard SDK. In the game, users look around a virtual world to find and collect objects.
