Google Cardboard came about just when VR was starting to become a buzzword. When I first heard about it, it was on an article telling you how to create your own Google Cardboard to save yourself $10 on plastic, cardboard, and a little paper.
Whether you experience it as an additional perk of buying a Samsung product, or you just see a $30 knockoff at the airport gadget stand–it can’t be denied that Mobile VR is a bit more approachable for the casual consumer.
