The virtual reality (VR) space is still in a period of tentative growth – while some projects, like Oculus Rift, are really pioneering the industry, a wider application of the technology in day-to-day usage has yet to be really nailed down. A new Kickstarter project called dscvr aims to ease that transition by offering a VR headset that’s durable and portable – it’s collapsible, meaning that you can take it wherever you go and is strong enough to withstand a bit of travel, something the Google Cardboard generally struggles with. Check out the pitch video from I AM Cardboard below:

At the time of writing, dscvr still has 29 days to go and is just a hair under its $20,000 target with $18,426. It seems pretty likely that they’re going to make the target within that time, so if you’re looking for a portable way to enjoy VR, then the dscvr looks like it might be the thing for you.
