DIY Google Cardboard VR 3D Glasses Headset (XL Edition)

The Extra Large Edition of the original Google Cardboard Virtual Reality Headset is a DIY kit for 4 to 6-inch screen size smartphones.

You can assemble this kit into 3D Glasses to get a VR experience from selected apps available on both Android and iOS. It's amazing how such a simple idea can transform your smartphone in seconds.

All it takes is 3 minutes to assemble. Pop your phone into the little cardboard viewfinder slot then hold it up to your face, and you're immersed in a virtual reality world much like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

Turn your head to scroll through the environment, using the metallic washer fixed to the side allowing interaction.

Flick it down to click on something. It's incredibly intuitive, and equally impactful. A cool idea which equally makes for a fun new toy or Geek gift.
