Back in February we ran a blog item about punters at a Google Developers Conference who assembled a piece of cardboard into a kit, which, with the addition of a mobile phone, propelled them into a breathtaking virtual world.

Well, we’re pleased to announce that we can now supply branded Google Cardboard as a promotional item. Yes, the clever little gizmo can be printed with your logo, web address and promotional message to match a campaign. It’s the perfect customer or prospect gift, ideal for conferences, product launches and other events.

Don’t be deceived by the simplicity of the device. Although this open source project allows everyone to enjoy virtual reality in a fun and affordable way, when paired with a smartphone, branded Google Cardboard really bursts into life.

Compatible with most modern smartphones, the headsets work with an ever increasing number of 3D applications on both Android and iOS devices.

Operation is simple – assemble the headset, launch the Google Cardboard app and pop the phone inside the headset. You’ll feel a vibration and you’re off. VR Applications include Roller Coaster, a virtual reality ride on a deserted roller-coaster, Windy Day, a game in a cartoon environment, Tour Guide, Exhibit, Earth Flyover and Street Vue.

At Arcadia, we’re always looking at ways to help brands stand out from the crowd, scouring the market for innovative products that’ll inject that extra bit of oomph into any promotion. For more creative product ideas, contact us at sales@arcadiaonline.co.uk.
