So most of you know that I am not the first person to try something new unless I can get it free or for very little money ..... which may have led to my fascination with Google Cardboard. I had read some pretty cool things and after attending Constructing Modern Knowledge and meeting Josh Burker who had created a way to create his own pictures for virtual reality Google Cardboard, I was quite intrigued.
My intrigue led to me buying two google cardboard sets - one at under $5 and the other at $15. They arrived and I quickly realized that I get what I pay for. Let's just say that if you pay under $5, you will get the cardboard but maybe only ONE lens. Now the lenses are rather essential... so don't make the mistake I made. It could cost you more to send it back then to actually keep it and waste your money.
So now I had the Google Cardboard, my iPhone, and a free app that I downloaded. I loaded my iPhone into the Google Cardboard and couldn't wait to experience virtual reality. But..... I got motion sickness. I posted on Facebook about my experience and several other people responded that they too had this issue. To be honest, the fact that it made me sick caused me to have real reservations about bringing it into my classroom.
So yesterday I was checking out DNews only to find this video.
