Google Cardboard: A Simple Yet Revolutionary Idea

By Jake Kirk • Tuesday 8th July 2014

You know you're in for something special when Google drops a surprise at their annual I/O conference. This year, the tech giant didn't bring us a new smartphone or an AI breakthrough — instead, they handed out a simple piece of cardboard to developers and enthusiasts alike. But don’t be fooled by its humble appearance; this is no ordinary box.

Google Cardboard is a DIY virtual reality headset that turns your Android phone into a gateway to immersive experiences. All you need is a sheet of corrugated cardboard, some basic tools, and the free Google Cardboard app. Once assembled, it becomes a lightweight, affordable VR rig that lets you explore 360-degree videos, watch movies, or even take a tour of Google Earth from the comfort of your couch.

What makes Google Cardboard so impressive isn’t just its low cost — it's the way it redefines what’s possible with minimal materials. The design includes laser-cut corrugated cardboard, high-quality BK7 glass lenses, magnets, and Velcro for adjustability. Google even recommends using E Flute board, one of the thinnest and most durable options available, making it ideal for packaging applications.

This project isn’t just about fun — it’s also a sustainable choice. Made from recyclable materials, Google Cardboard is a great example of how innovation can go hand-in-hand with eco-friendliness. Plus, it's accessible to everyone. You don’t have to be a developer or work at Google to get in on the action. Whether you buy a pre-made version or build your own, the experience is open to all.

For those interested in creating their own, the instructions are straightforward and easy to follow. And if you’re looking for guidance on the best materials to use, our team here at Kite is more than happy to help.
