14 Basic Things To Have In Your Car In Winter Part 1 Growing up near the Cleveland snow belt on Lake Erie has its advantages.

You need one image going into one eye and a different image going into the other – it’d be good if the images changed once in a while – and that’s basically it. Google Cardboard brings that to you with only a smartphone, a couple of lenses, and cardboard (and some magnets and rubber bands).

In this case, though, those windows are each half of a smartphone’s screen. Google also put do-it-yourself instructions with equally simple materials online for those who missed the conference.
