Turn your phone into a VR photo camera
Google Cardboard is the creation of the search engine company that allows users to get hold of a simple and cheap method to make the most of a virtual reality headset on the phone. It's basically cardboard from where we can place or device with the appropriate apps to watch contents in VR format.
Your virtual reality photo camera
Cardboard Camera turns your smartphone into a camera with which you can take photos that you can later view in 360º. In other words, the image will be still but you'll be able to move your head and explore the photo as if it surrounded you.
The application is really simple and it comes along with a few sample images to which you can add your very own ones. For such purpose, you'll only have to follow the instructions given: press to take a snap and move your phone sideways to capture a panoramic image. By the way, it's also capable of capturing sound.
It has been developed with high-precision image technology, offering us a very realistic 3D effect that makes objects look like they're really at the distance at which they should be.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.4.
- Offers in-app purchases.
