Virtual Reality with Cell Phones

I might be late to the party, but I saw Mark Cuban on twitter claiming how he has helped Indiana basketball has become the first  "Virtual Reality Broadcast In College Basketball."

Then I realized, I've seen this before:

Curious, I did some research and you can turn you're phone into one of these VR Machines for cheap with Google Cardboard.

Ordered one and tried it. I must say it is pretty cool. I was impressed. 

Can't wait for UND hockey to be broadcast...hoping by 2020. 

Anyone else tried it?

Colbert mentioned he owns a Tesla, which are awesome. If you haven't seen it they have updated the cars software and it will now drive itself.

VR is very cool and a useful tool for architecture. The ability to tske clients through a building and see how the scale will be is priceless. We have an Occulus system at our disposal in the NDSU architecture department.
