Getting started with Google Cardboard - CNET It sounds made up: Your smartphone, a couple of plastic lenses, and some strategically cut cardboard come together to form a virtual reality headset. Yet that's the, er, reality of Google Cardboard, which made its debut at last year's Google I/O conference and received a 2.0 update at this year's. Along the way, developers have cranked out some very cool Cardboard-compatible apps, while Google went so far as to create a dedicated Apps for Google Cardboard store. If you've been itching to try this for yourself, you have two options: Build a headset or order a kit. However, although the page itself makes reference to "the new Cardboard," the accompanying build-it-yourself images (and pop-up guides) still show the original Cardboard. Until Google updates all this, your best bet may be to simply order a Cardboard kit. Once you've equipped yourself with Cardboard, here's what you should know about using it. Where to find VR content Once you've got the hardware, you need content to view.

The Collaborative Process Web-based collaborative real-time editor Etherpad (previously known as EtherPad)[1][2] is a web-based collaborative real-time editor, allowing authors to simultaneously edit a text document, and see all of the participants' edits in real-time, with the ability to display each author's text in their own color. There is also a chat box in the sidebar to allow meta communication. First launched in November 2008, the software was acquired by Google in December 2009 and released as open source later that month. Features and implementation[edit] Anyone can create a new collaborative document, known as a "pad". The software auto-saves the document at regular, short intervals, but participants can permanently save specific versions (checkpoints) at any time. Automated markup of JavaScript code was made available shortly after the launch. Launch[edit] Etherpad was launched on 19 November 2008 by David Greenspan, Aaron Iba, and J.D. Etherpad was covered by Slashdot on November 21, 2008,[7] resulting in server slowdown and downtime.
