Building Google's low-cost cardboard version of an Oculus Rift (pictures)

Handed out as part of Google's annual goodie bag for attendees of the I/O developers conference in San Francisco, the Cardboard package came with all the necessary materials to easily assemble a makeshift virtual reality headset.

Using an Android app called Cardboard, a simple smartphone can be placed inside the case and used to run low-key VR experiments.

Google has an entire developers page dedicated to the project, born of two employees at the Google Cultural Institute in Paris, that includes schematics, a materials list, and the project's open software development kit.
