Happy to answer any questions people have on the kit, our product page seems to be hiding the description so here are some more details.<p>We did the math and it costs over $45 to order all those bits and pieces Google suggested, and that doesn't even include shipping from 4 different vendors.<p>We are gathering all the pieces you will need to assemble your own Google cardboard VR goggle (minus the smartphone). We precut the cardboard and you should be able to assemble all the pieces in under 5 minutes. Easy Peezy. Get cracking and place your order.<p>Here is what comes in your kit..
- Precut cardboard
- Lenses
- Magnet
- Velcro
- Rubberband
- upgrade for optional NFC tag (not included in base kit)<p>estimated delivery 4-6 weeks
Wow, that was really fast. I kind of suspected someone would do this, I even considered doing something similar myself after I heard the announcement. Really clever and nice work guys. Curious to see how these actually fare and if we'll see an enthusiast community is spawned from Google Cardboard and the community itself works to improve the insanely simple and awesome concept.
I had heard rumors that regular use of Oculus can cure motion sickness that people experience in cars/etc through desensetization. Anyone have any first-hand reports on this question?<p>If so, I'm tempted to buy a kit like this (from these guys or someone else) and use that to self-medicate.
Placed my order, can't wait to try it out. I think what you guys are doing is great, I can see how it would take a bit of time to mass produce. Besides, you save money and don't need to go to ebay and spend $100 on official ones. Keep rocking it gents!
can you sell just the lenses without the rest of the setup for a lower cost/faster ship time? Many people (including myself) want to build their own, but are having a massive amount of trouble finding the lenses as the original set google linked to sold out almost immediately. Also, what are the specifications of the lenses you use?
Thanks
