As with Apple's WWDC, this year's Google I/O keynote on software, Android l, Android TV, Android and Android Auto, and Android Wear Everywhere (big mistake). But who cares about software Ah! Our hardware to be fun! Published three intelligence watches are some welcome relief, but you can't book Moto 360 also cool a lot of people's minds. In the broadcast, hear the Moto to the "late summer" upon delivery, audience of viewers is hard to hide her disappointment sent a "sh" sound, David Singleton appeared as early as the material on the table, a wry smile, continues to demonstrate.
But after the speeches show Cardboard but let a lot of people's eyes light up, said is the biggest surprise of the day. Cardboard is an inexpensive virtual-reality device that can make users feel the charm of virtual reality on the mobile phone. Complete Assembly includes a few pieces of Cardboard cardboard, lenses, magnets, rubber bands and, of course, to have a cell phone, and downloaded the Cardboard. Cath Kidston iPhone 6s plus
After assembling, is like the figure below.
Cardboard you can display mobile content in split-screen, two eyes see is not exactly the same, to produce a 3D effect. By using the built-in screw device, when users turn the head, eyes also have a corresponding change to those shown. Cardboard, of course virtual reality effects are not expecting too much.
Cardboard to get rid of mobile phone parts out of a total of just $ 19.95, if not actually seeing real, many people would think it was April Fool's day joke. This is definitely not a joke, Google also released a tool kit VR Toolkit to help developers to combine their services and applications with Cardboard. Google said on its website, "we just wanted to let everyone in a simple, fun, and inexpensive way to experience virtual reality technology".
See prices of less than $ 20, which makes one think of Facebook for $ 2 billion to buy virtual reality technology company Oculus Rift. Google is a great slap. Former products extremely cheap, but also build their own; the latter to hundreds of dollars, now mainly in the hands of developers, from widespread use of there is a certain gap.
Of course, than from the price unfair, Oculus effect with Cardboard, after all, is not a hierarchy. Exactly how the development of the latter, can be like the Oculus at such a high valuation, everything has yet to be tested. Though Cardboard can be good way of access to virtual reality technology, Lite and DIY should be able to attract many consumers (glass, talking to you! )。 When the market has matured and after a certain market share, then developed the advanced version, should be a good strategy. But I prefer to think that Google's motivation is fun, Cardboard is a "20%"-the staff at whim with 80% efforts to develop other projects.
