Cardboard Camera takes VR photos—moments in time you can relive in virtual reality. Hear the sounds as they happened, and look around to see the scene in every direction. VR photos are 3D, so near things look near and far things look far.

To experience your photos in VR, pop your phone into a Google Cardboard viewer https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/.
