Google Cardboard Camera app lets you take ‘Virtual Reality’ pictures

Google Cardboard Camera app will let us take virtual-reality (VR) pictures.

Google Cardboard Camera app will let users take Virtual-reality (VR) ready pictures  on their smartphones and then experience these on a cardboard viewer.  Google’s official blogpost offers an explanation of how you can use this ‘VR’ feature on your smartphones.

Android users will need to take a photo and move the phone around them in a circle, while doing so. You need to take this photo via the Cardboard Camera app and later when you place your phone inside the Google Cardboard viewer, you’ll be able to see the VR picture.

Google’s blogpost says that the “VR photos are three-dimensional panoramas, with slightly different views for each eye, so near things look near and far things look far. You can look around to explore the image in all directions, and even record sound with your photo to hear the moment exactly as it happened.”
