Google takes down all VR apps with ‘Cardboard’ in their name
According to Variety, Google has taken down all VR apps that have the word ‘Cardboard’ in their name.
Google wants developers to be more specific about what their apps do and how they use the cardboard reader. Google’s cardboard VR reader is well over a year old since its original launch. Google’s aim for Cardboard is to bring it to schools and places all around the world at an affordable price point so everyone can join in on the action. That’s why the company made Cardboard open source, so anyone can make their own version. However, Google wants to make sure that VR apps are perfectly optimized for each reader. Apps such as Cardboard VNC, Cardboard Theater and Cardboard Catapult were removed because of the liberal use of the Cardboard trademark. Perhaps Google is more serious about its Cardboard trademark than we initially thought.
