To use Google Cardboard you first have to download the app and the split screen view then combines into a 3D image when held up to your eyes. Once you get Google Cardboard you then fold your phone inside.You can move your head around and the images will act and move as if your are actually in that place. 



 A couple of awesome things about this product and it's design is that is super cheap and super easy to use. It takes no special instructions and even for those people who can never seem to get along with technology, but would like to enjoy the experience of a virtual world. This product must be used with a specific app in order for it to function. 



How does the product work? With just a few easy steps you'll be in a virtual world in no time! First, Get the specially designed app that was talked about above. Then fold the cardboard and place your phone inside, then hold is up to your eyes. You can use Google Cardboard anywhere, whether you're on a hike in the wilderness or still at home in bed. You can access a virtual world at any time of your choosing and it's an awesome way to take some time to yourself and escape reality. The best part about this product that I really like is that it's cheap! Anyone can afford it! And a plus, it's so easy to use!
