Information on Google Cardboard

Google Cardboard is an inexpensive way to experience virtual reality (VR). All you need is the Google Cardboard + Smartphone + VR app (roller coaster, moon walk, street view to name a few).

The Cardboard with Google Street View app allows you to explore many locations around the world. Take your students to Paris or Pompeii without the cost (or stress!).

The DLCs have seven Google Cardboard devices available for teachers to use. They come in two sizes. We have Three Cardboards that are the larger size (for iPhone 6+, and Galaxy) and four Cardboards that are the  smaller size (for regular sized Apple and Android phones).

Try out some of these apps with the Google Cardboard (Cardboards are available to borrow from the DLC Office).

Google Cardboard can be purchased through Amazon for prices ranging from $5 - $19+ each.
The DLC Team purchased them locally from GMarket. They cost us 3900 KRW each. They work pretty well.
