Short for Virtual Reality, VR is a computer-generated

artificial environment that allows a user to view, explore,

and manipulate the environment.

What is a Cardboard?

It's simply a design - one you can either buy as a kit from a

manufacturer or use to build your own - that utilizes

cardboard and a pair of 40mm focal distance lenses to turn

your phone into a virtual reality headset. It also uses

magnets, Velcro, and a rubber band to keep everything in

place.

Once put together, users set their phone into it and look

through the lenses. In combination with compatible apps,

this simple setup can turn interacting with your handset's

screen into a seemingly real-world experience.

How does it work?

Google Cardboard works by

placing your phone at the optimal

distance away from the lenses.

Then, by using compatible apps,

the lenses create a 3D effect when

held up to your eyes. You can even

move your head around, and the

images will respond as if you're in

the same place as what's

displayed on your screen.

All you’ll need is:

• Install most recent version of Firefox Nightly.

• Install WebVR Oculus Rift Enabler add-on.

• Open a non-e10s browser window.
