Cardboard addresses a common need for users who want simple access to mobile VR without extra steps. It brings setup help and content entry points into one place, so you can focus on exploring instead of configuring. The app uses the Cardboard open source SDK to keep core VR functions consistent. After you install Cardboard APK, your VR tools sit in one hub that is quick to open when your viewer is ready.
Launch VR experiences
Cardboard provides a straightforward hub to start supported VR demos and experiences. Open the app, choose what to view, then place the phone in a compatible viewer. This trims time spent digging through menus and gets you into VR faster.
Viewer setup
You can set up a Cardboard viewer inside the app. The process aligns the phone for clearer viewing. A compatible Cardboard viewer is required for full use. Do not use this app while driving or walking.
Discover new VR apps
Cardboard points you to VR apps that work with the viewer, so you can find ideas to try next. This keeps your exploration organized and makes it easier to see what is available for your device.
Open source foundation
Cardboard is built on the Cardboard open source software SDK. The core code is public, which keeps behavior consistent across updates. By using this app, you agree to the Google Terms of Service and the general Privacy Policy.
Cardboard offers a simple path to try VR on your phone, from setup to viewing. To begin, download Cardboard and prepare a compatible viewer before use.
