Google also announced Street View, a feature found in Google Maps that has since spawned its own app, is now supported by Cardboard. The Street View app for Android and iOS devices has been updated so that you can use it with Cardboard and “immerse yourself in destinations around the world.”The Cardboard app — now standing at more than 15 million installs — is now available in thirty-nine languages and over one hundred countries around the world. And you can make your own Cardboard viewer by downloading Google's instructions. Or, you know, you can just purchase a unit.
