TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) -- This App-etite isn't just about an app, it features one of Google’s latest and greatest devices as well.
WTXL ABC 27 tech reporter Morgan Moore introduces us to Cardboard.
Want to head to Mt.Everest? How about the Windy City?
Thanks to Google Cardboard, they’ll be no packing a suitcase or even traveling involved.
This easy-to-assemble virtual reality viewer is made out of everyday items like cardboard of course, along with some magnets and Velcro.
Once it’s made, just download the Cardboard app to your phone, and pop it in.
Thanks to Google’s satellite imagery, the app can take you all over the world, and make you feel like you’re right there.
And if soaring above doesn't put you close enough to the action, Google Maps can take you even closer.
If there’s a street view option for a location you go into the map, and actually feel like you’re standing just feet away from stores and building.
Not enough culture in your life? Cardboard has that covered too.
Head to world renowned museum and view priceless works up art up close, or even take in a tour, as narrators teach you the history behind what you’re seeing.
And if you want the movie theater experience from the comfort of your couch, check out the YouTube feature.
It lets you breeze through your favorite videos, and see everything on a screen that’s literally right in front of your eyes.
You can make your own Google cardboard right at home with Google’s kit, or purchase a third party device that saves you the trouble and makes it for you.
