In the case of virtual reality, it was a foregone conclusion that the answer was a resounding “yes.” That’s why a VR-focused porn site is handing out free Google Cardboard headsets. They’re good for more than just porn too!
Google first brought the idea of Cardboard at Google I/O in 2014, and at first it seemed like a bit of a joke. You fold up this piece of cardboard and strap your phone in, then hold it up to your face and you’ve got a makeshift VR headset. Honestly, I think Cardboard was a joke right up until the moment it wasn’t. The idea really took off and developers started making apps that took advantage of Cardboard. It makes sense when you think about it — your phone has a high-resolution screen, orientation sensors, powerful video processing, and everything else you need for a simple VR experience.
