Google Cardboard is the most recent ultra-affordable VR experience. Virtual Reality is one of the most impressive media evolutions right now. Google wants everyone to experience virtual reality in a simple, fun and inexpensive way. That's the goal of the Cardboard project.

All you need to experience immersive 360° virtual worlds is a smartphone and the Cardboard viewer. Just fold the "Historium VR City" Cardboard Kit (that will be done in 20 seconds), put your phone inside it and start an app or video. Your phone will show you two slightly different pictures that will be merged into one stereoscopic image when you're looking through the two lenses.
