<article> <section class="page"> <p> Remember Google Cardboard (https://cardboard.withgoogle.com)? It's a Google project that uses a small cardboard contraption to effectively turn your smartphone into a basic VR headset. It's been sort of forgotten, but Volvo is putting it to good use (http://www.volvocars.com/us/all-cars/all-new-volvo-xc90/Pages/Google-cardboard.aspx) to preview its new XC90 SUV.</p><p> Volvo's XC90 preview—which the auto maker claims is "the first virtual reality test drive on your phone"—works in conjunction with a free smartphone app, which is available now for Android, and will arrive in the iOS App Store on November 18th. Volvo designed the app with a Google Cardboard viewer in mind, but says that you don't need the viewer in order to use the app. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2848456/volvo-gives-google-cardboard-new-life-uses-it-to-preview-new-cars.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Volvo gives Google Cardboard new life, uses it to preview new cars (http://www.macworld.com/article/2848456/volvo-gives-google-cardboard-new-life-uses-it-to-preview-new-cars.html#tk.rss_all) |
