This 2016 is said to be the year when virtual reality will finally make its mark in the tech industry. It’s rapidly entering the mainstream market as more and more VR headsets and devices are being manufactured by different OEMs. More apps and games are also being launched, proving more mobile users that the virtual realm is nothing to be afraid of.
Well, you have nothing to fear really about VR as it will only make you dizzy a bit. If not VR, there’s 3D ready to make your eyes hurt and head spin. Included in the Android Experiments lineup is this 3D Controller for the smartphone. This turns your device into a real 3D controller. The idea is nothing new since we can already use the Android phone as controller with a Chromecast.
Using the built-in sensors on your smartphone, the device is turned into a controller courtesy of the available controller API. The possibilities are endless actually but the idea is the phone-turned-controller will be used with your virtual reality headset.
Google’s Android VR is almost here. We’re guessing it will either be the platform or the actual VR headset from the tech giant. It could be the Nexus of the virtual reality arena. You can test the 3D Controller for free and see for yourself how it can be used with gaming.
