LG gives away free Google Cardboards to make virtual reality mainstream
In a bid to integrate virtual reality (VR) to day to day life, LG is giving away Google Cardboards for free with the G3. Google Cardboard can be paired with LG G3 to play various VR games and VR-compatible apps that can be downloaded from Google Play.
“While still in its infancy, this is just the beginning of the virtual reality movement which until recently was expensive and inaccessible to everyday consumers… By leveraging Google Cardboard, not only are regular consumers able to participate in the VR experience, we’ll be able to introduce this technology to future developers who may one day show us how VR can be used to improve our lives,” LG Vice President Chris Yie said.
LG G3 is an ideal phone for experiencing virtual reality as it doesn’t depend on the usual head mounted VR device. The compact smartphone, on the other hand, fully uses its great display and audio capabilities to facilitate virtual reality.
VR for G3 takes full advantage of volume buttons present on its back and its 1W speaker with Boost AMP to provide sharp and more realistic sound effects. If you want a wireless VR experience, you can combine VR for G3 with LG Tone Infinim Bluetooth headsets.
As for how VR for G3 works, its design is based on Google Cardboard blueprint and its neodymium ring magnet works in coordination with the magnetic gyroscope sensor in the G3.
“With Google Cardboard, we wanted to create more immersive and delightful experiences for anyone on their mobile devices,” said Andrew Nartker, Product Manager for Google Cardboard. “We are excited about VR for G3, and the rich ecosystem of developers and manufacturers who are innovating with Google Cardboard and making VR more easily accessible.”
Buyers in select markets be able to avail VR for G3 in addition to some a free VR game, Robobliteration that can be downloaded using in-box QR code.
