Flat-pack Cardboard Virtual Reality Viewer
Cardboard
Cardboard is a smartphone accessory that facilitates experiencing virtual reality in an uncomplicated and cost-effect-ive manner. It is die-cut from a single sheet of cardboard and dispatched as a flat envelope. The user provides input via a sliding magnet on the side of the box. The magnetic sensor of the smartphone recognises and processes its movement. An ordinary rubber band prevents the phone from sliding out.
Statement by the Jury
Cardboard makes virtual reality come true for everyone who owns a smartphone. The die-cut cardboard solution is affordable and quite simple.
