Back at Google I/O this year attendees were given their very own Google Cardboard. Basically a virtual reality headset made from cardboard (ala Oculus Rift). Of course that being Google I/O it would seem the novelty would only work with Android. But it turns out that iPhone users can also have a go with the recyclable hardware. All they have to do is have the right app. CBS news is reporting that there are a few apps on iPhone that will allow Cardboard to work as intended.

One of the best examples of the genre is Dive City Rollercoaster. This app places you in a rollercoaster with loops, dives and corkscrews. The app takes advantage of your iPhone’s accelerometer, so you can look around as you’re riding; you aren’t restricted to a straight-ahead view. If you have tried Google Cardboard on Android, this app might seem familiar — there’s a version of it in the Google Play store as well.
And there are others. Moorente is a virtual duck- hunt, where the sky is filled with dozens and dozens of 3D rendered birds. Move your head around and stare at them a moment, and your shotgun automatically fires, blasting them out of the sky. It’s not much of a game, nor is it especially realistic. Instead, Moorente demonstrates the potential of virtual reality, and it’s an amusing diversion to drive the point home.
Other options include The Height, a tech demo in which you walk around a very tall structure, and any number of 3D videos in YouTube. To find them, you can search YouTube for “3D split screen. ” Read More here…
