Google's Virtual Reality Cardboard Viewer
Use It For A Remote Viewing Experience!
Remote viewing (RV) is the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target using subjective means, in particular, extrasensory perception (ESP) or "sensing with mind".
Remote viewing is a mental faculty that allows a perceiver (a "viewer") to describe or give details about a target that is inaccessible to normal senses due to distance, time, or shielding. For example, a viewer might be asked to describe a location on the other side of the world, which he or she has never visited; or a viewer might describe an event that happened long ago; or describe an object sealed in a container or locked in a room; or perhaps even describe a person or an activity; all without being told anything about the target -- not even its name or designation.
From this explanation, it is obvious that remote viewing is related to so-called psi (also known as "psychic" or "parapsychological") phenomena such as clairvoyance or telepathy. Whatever it is that seems to make it possible for human beings to do remote viewing is probably the same underlying ability that makes such things as clairvoyance work.
What do you need for this remote viewing virtual reality experience? You'll only need to get Google's Cardboard Virtual Reality Viewer!
You need one image going into one eye and a different image going into the other – it’d be good if the mental images changed once in a while – and that’s basically it. Google Cardboard brings that to you with only a smartphone, a couple of lenses (not provided), and cardboard (and some magnets and rubber bands).
At a recent conference in San Francisco Google handed out unfoldable packages that assembled – via Velcro and some tearing on the dotted line – into fully functional remote viewing 3-D displays upon adding an Android phone and a Cardboard-compatible app.
Like an old-school stereoscope, the Cardboard uses visual imagery (like a x-ray device) in front of each eye to focus a user’s eyesight to two evenly-sized windows, creating the effect of remote viewing a 3-D image. In this case, though, those windows are each half of a smartphone’s screen. The Cardboard app offers exploration of Google Earth, virtual environments, and remote viewing. The setup uses the smartphone’s movement sensors to explore a virtual remote viewing interface, and a metal ring paired with a magnet clinging to the side of the device moves up and down, allowing users to click by triggering a phone’s magnetometer (normally used to measure the phone’s orientation compared to the Earth’s magnetic field).
Google also has do-it-yourself instructions with equally simple materials online.
Besides using the device for remote viewing one can create their own apps—including a Minecraft-like game and a roller coaster simulation—with the help of the VR Toolkit. The toolkit is intended to help with perspective changes, head tracking, and movement in order to optimize apps for 3-D.
With Google's Cardboard VR Viewer you'll soon be an expert at remote viewing and gaining direct knowledge about inaccessible targets – about people, places, things, or events in the past, present, or future.
