With Google Cardboard, you can take amazing trips
to faraway places and feel like you’re actually there. But what if you
could also use Cardboard to go back in time—to step inside personal
moments like your favorite vacation or a holiday dinner with family? Now
you can with the new Cardboard Camera app for Android.
Cardboard Camera turns the smartphone in your pocket into a virtual
reality (VR) camera. It’s simple to take a photo: just hold out your
phone and move it around you in a circle. Later, when you place your
phone inside a Google Cardboard viewer, you'll get to experience
something new: a VR photo.
VR photos are three-dimensional panoramas, with slightly different views
for each eye, so near things look near and far things look far. You can
look around to explore the image in all directions, and even record
sound with your photo to hear the moment exactly as it happened.

With Cardboard Camera, anyone can create their own VR experience. So
revisit the mountaintop that took hours to hike, or the zoo where you
saw (and heard) the monkeys, or your birthday party with the cake out
and candles still lit. Capture the moments that matter to you and relive
them anytime, from anywhere.
Cardboard Camera is available today on Google Play in 17 languages.
