<div dir="ltr">A couple things, first, can I still get in on a pair of these lenses? Second I've been designing a 3D Printable version of the apparatus, which is a bit more flexible for multiple phone models, and supports focus/IPD adjustment. It's not done yet...<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">So last night in anticipation of building our own cardboard(TM) I installed the app from google on my S4. I have none of the parts needed so I wasn't expecting anything that great. The first challenge came from needing to 'click' in order to proceed to the menu. This is done by moving the included magnet switch up and down, with no magnet I reached for the closest thing to me I knew had a magnet in it - my cordless phone (in the speaker). Just moving the cordless up and down close to the side of the phone worked like a charm and I was able to navigate the menu. My first impression was that the motion detection was very sensitive, I wasn't expecting it to be so responsive. Then I loaded up the street view option from the menu and squished my face against the screen until the two images merged into one. Even with an extremely blurry image the 3D effect was quite apparent and moving my head around allowed me to 'look around' the world. I don't think I have stopped smiling since. I can't wait to try this with those lenses!</p>

<br>Darcy put it out there that he'd like to build one, so would I. The hard part apparently is finding the right spec of lenses: biconvex, 25mm diameter, 40mm focal length. I've found some for $7 USD per pair (+ shipping) if we buy 5 pairs. Are there 3 others out there who wanna join Darcy and I in our cardboard VR future?<span><font color="#888888"><br>
