But around ten years ago, this was exactly how many people got into virtual reality: Google Cardboard, a simple, foldable cardboard holder for smartphones, offered an inexpensive way to experience VR content in those days. Users could insert their smartphones, start an app and immerse themselves in the virtual world through the lenses.<br><br>This type of VR glasses was available in many variants: colorful, creatively designed and in a wide variety of shapes. They were particularly popular promotional gifts at trade fairs and events and opened the door to new digital experiences. Numerous companies and developers took up the idea and still produce their own versions made of cardboard or simple plastic nowadays.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-72fe0b6 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"72fe0b6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0948d77\" data-id=\"0948d77\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aed63e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aed63e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">cheap, simple, but with many limitations<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8a2248 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e8a2248\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVR glasses such as Google Cardboard are mainly convincing due to their price: They offer almost free access to VR \u2013 without expensive devices or technical know-how. The glasses are lightweight, quick to set up, compatible with various smartphones and ideal for short VR demos.<br><br>However, these advantages have their limits: The simple design can neither keep up with the resolution of modern displays nor with advanced tracking. Motion control, precise position tracking or immersive audio functions are completely absent. The wearing comfort often leaves a lot to be desired, and the models are simply unsuitable for longer sessions. In addition, the dependence on the smartphone leads to compatibility problems \u2013 especially with older or less powerful devices.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-92f5cb4\" data-id=\"92f5cb4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6d6f3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d6d6f3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2880\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/virtual-reality-produktion.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-96262\" alt=\"virtual reality production\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/virtual-reality-produktion.jpg 2880w, https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/virtual-reality-produktion-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/virtual-reality-produktion-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/virtual-reality-produktion-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2880px) 100vw, 2880px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c0abea9 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c0abea9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4b3c3a8\" data-id=\"4b3c3a8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c249bd9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c249bd9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apple-Vision-Pro-Videoproduktion-vr-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-102950\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apple-Vision-Pro-Videoproduktion-vr-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apple-Vision-Pro-Videoproduktion-vr-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apple-Vision-Pro-Videoproduktion-vr-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apple-Vision-Pro-Videoproduktion-vr-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apple-Vision-Pro-Videoproduktion-vr-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sebastian-fiebak.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Apple-Vision-Pro-Videoproduktion-vr-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eb8a946\" data-id=\"eb8a946\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e801608 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e801608\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The present time: high-end instead of cardboard<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d17f3ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d17f3ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the meantime, the VR landscape has changed fundamentally.

If you want to use VR at trade fairs, in retail or in marketing, it is better to use professional headsets.
