TinyMVR Gamepad for Google Cardboard

Welcome to the world of Virtual Reality!

TinyMVR is a 3D gamepad specifically designed for virtual reality (VR) glasses which use smart phone as display.

TinyMVR provides control of games, videos, movies.

The device greatly extends the capabilities of virtual reality glasses.

This gamepad does not contradict the concept of availability Google Cardboard but it gives you the opportunity to use mobile applications more intensively.

In 2014, Google created a Google Cardboard.

Having a pair of lenses, a piece of cardboard and a smartphone, you can dive into the world of Virtual Reality.

YouTube has released about 850,000 movies and the tensof thousands of channels display video from Google Cardboard.

Virtual Reality games are also very popular product.

The big disadvantage in using Google Cardboard is the inability to use remote control to switch movies (clips on YouTube) or control the game.

To change the video you have to open the lid, remove the smartphone, to switch the game manually or restart it.

We are developing a gamepad which will enable the consumer to make the necessary steps in the course of watching of the movie or playing game without removing the cardboard.

It will combine the manufacturability and low cost to the consumer.
