Google Cardboard Virtual Reality
Virtual reality is a tool that can take us to a different place using computers or devices such as smart phones and tablets. Typically, in order to use virtual reality, VR glasses or headset is required. Google Cardboard is an inexpensive type of virtual reality goggle that allows us to experience virtual reality by using VR goggles together with a smart phone or tablet. The Midland Media Center offers twenty-five pairs of Google Cardboard goggles for students and teachers.
