    Introduction:

    Since Google launched it's VR cardboard last 2014.,i've read some good

    feedbacks about it.,And last May 2015.,the cardboard VR supports iOS.,Getting

    the VR cardboard is cheapest way to experience Virtual Reality.,And i asked

    myself can you DIY a complete functioning VR cardboard from recycled

    stuff.,Including the lens.That's how this project started.,And i'm sharing it here

    how to build a Google Cardboard VR all from scratch at no cost.,Using

    recyclable materials

    •(That is if you have have all the basic tools needed for this project.)

    Step 1: Needed Things

    Materials and Tools needed:

    - Google Cardboard templates

    - Scissors

    2/11

    - *Transparent (clear) plastic bottle *

    ^made of (PET)

    *stands for polyethylene terephthalate. PET (also known as PETE)*

    -Syringe with needle

    - Velcro or rubber band

    - Glue stick (for glue gun)

    -neodymium magnet(optional for older iphones)

    *a smartphone(iOS & Android)

    Step 2: Steps

    I will focus the steps on how to make a Biconvex lens out of used clear plastic

    empty bottle.,Because the cardboard VR is useless without the Lens (the most

    important part of the VR) So anyone who will try this project can go forward and

    start the Cardboard VR casing.,And some of the images here shows how i build

    the Google Cardboard VR.,

    (you can find steps on how to build or assemble a Google VR cardboard here in

    instructables and in various websites or in youtube).So i'll start first with the

    lens.Then followed by the cardboard VR.

    •STEPS TO MAKE LENS

    1.Find an empty clear bottle with a good "Curvature"2.Then make a circular template (25mm diameter)on a sheet of 

    cardboard/paper.As seen on image.

    3.Then cut the marked you made on plastic bottle using scissors.

    4.Make and cut at least 4 pcs of this.,because you'll need 2 pcs together to

    create a a single biconvex lens

    5.Combine 2 pcs together to create a biconvex shape lens.

    6.Carefully sealed all the circumference sides of the biconvex shape plastic you

     just joined.

    7.Now that you have sealed all the sides using quickdry epoxy.Fill your syringe

    with clear water and carefully inject it on the biconvex shape until you filled it up.

    *to removed bubbles-just pinched or gently squeeze the lens-to slowly remove

    all the big bubbles in it.

    8.After successfully removing bubbles filled it with water(the lens).,Sealed itagain.Seal the hole you just made by syringe needle.

    9.Let it dry for a few minutes..Test it-if it magnifies things.Try to magnify small

    things-(like printed letters).

    10.After succesfully made a biconvex lens that magnifies things up.,Repeat the

    procedure for your second and last biconvex lens.

    *If you successfully magnifies things up..Congratulations.!.,your good to go on

    building your own Google Cardboard VR.,

    •It's fun building things up by youself.

    •Next Images is how i build my Google Cardboard VR.

    Though it's not so very elaborate steps,,but you can google it for more elaborate

    one.,specially regarding the use of magnets to control your phone while inside

    the VR cardboard.

    •i dont use any magnets on my VR Cardboard.Will be discussed in some parts

    of this instructables.

    •Magnification of images

    •mag·ni·fi·ca·tion\ˌmag-nә-fә-ˈkā-shәn\

    noun

    : the act of making something look larger than it is : the act of magnifying

    something

    : the larger appearance of an object when it is seen through a microscope,

    telescope, etc.

    •Focal Length

    Focal length is the distance from the magnifying lens to the object behind the

    lens when the object is in focus. To put it another way, the optimal distance

    between the object being magnified (when it is in clear focus) and the

    magnifying glass is the focal length.

    •Magnification Power 

     As the magnification power increases, the focal length decreases; conversely,

    as the magnification power decreases, the focal length increases. The stronger 

    the optical power of the magnifying lens, the shorter the required distance

    between the magnifier and the object behind the lens.

    For example, if you are looking at a diamond through a 10x loupe, the distance

    between the diamond and the magnifying loupe will be very small (about an inch

    or so away). The focal length is therefore about an inch. Your eye will also need

    to be very close to the loupe.

    If you are looking at fine print with a 2x hand-held magnifying glass, the

    magnifying glass will need be several inches away (roughly 6 to 8 inches) from

    the fine print to bring it into optimal focus. The focal length in this example is 6 to

    8 inches.

    If you are not using a magnifier at its correct focal length, the object you are

    viewing will appear out of focus, distorted, or upside down when trying to view it

    through the magnifying glass.

    •Relationship of Lens Size to Magnification•

    Please keep in mind, as the lens size (diameter) of the magnifier lens increases,

    the magnification power of the magnifier decreases. As the lens size of the

    magnifier lens decreases, the magnification power of the magnifier increases.

    This is a result of the amount of curvature in the magnifier (lens). Magnification

    power is a result of the amount of curvature in the magnifier lens. As the lens

  • 8/18/2019 DIY Lens for Google Cardboard VR

    7/11

    size increases, the amount of curvature in the lens decreases, resulting in lower 

    magnification power of the lens. As the lens size decreases, the amount of 

    curvature in the lens increases, resulting in higher magnification power of the

    lens. This is why higher magnification lenses are generally smaller in size than

    lower magnification lenses.

    Step 9: About Magnets

    Using MagnetsCAUTION: Messing with powerful magnets near your iPhone can alter the

    calibration of the sensor!

    In researching this article, we experimented with a number of powerful magnets

    near the phone. While the compass can re-calibrate itself, it is possible to mess

    it up. In our case, it seems that we might have slightly magnetized some

    component inside the phone.

    While the compass still seems to work reasonably well, it doesn’t show the same

    overall field strength when we twist the phone around in different directions. This

    relatively new iPhone did agree with itself before we starting experimenting.

    There are a number of stainless steel shields inside an iPhone that might have

    been very slightly magnetized by the passing magnets. Hopefully they will

    demagnetize over time.

     Avoid getting powerful magnets too close to your smartphone, or risk messingwith your own compass calibration. Anything closer than a few inches is stronger 

    than that sensor can measure anyway.

    Step 10: Google Announcement

    Google has announced a new version of Cardboard, its virtual reality viewer.

    The latest Cardboard design will fit larger phones, up to 6 inches, and it's gotten

    rid of the magnet controller, replacing it with a cardboard button that will work

    with every phone. It also takes fewer steps to assemble. Just as importantly,

    Google has launched its Cardboard virtual reality app on iOS. The new app will

    let iPhone users explore city environments, use a virtual kaleidoscope, and view

    3D objects from a museum collection. Until now, the official Cardboard app was

    available only on Android, where it has been downloaded over a million times.

    For developers that have created their own Cardboard-compatible apps, the

    software development kit also supports iOS.

    *Google Cardboard is a virtual reality (VR) platform developed by Google for use

    with a fold-out cardboard mount for a mobile phone. It is intended as a low-cost

    system to encourage interest and development in VR and VR applications.It was

    created by David Coz and Damien Henry, Google engineers.

    •After initially only supporting Android, Google announced iOS support for the

    Unity plugin in May 2015 at the Google I/O 2015 conference.Third-party apps

    with Cardboard support are available on the Google Play store and App Store

    for iOS.

    Cool! I'll try someday..

    GWPoulos (/member/GWPoulos/)

    Why cant you just use a pair of cheap reading glasses for the lenses?

    Something around +2 diopters, depending on your eyesight and the distance

    between your eyes and the screen.

    Your eyes will broke

    rodski (/member/rodski/) (author)

    @GWPoulos

     As i mentioned in introduction,the idea is to create a google cardboard VR by

    using scrap materials.,And i dont think your idea of using ordinary eye lenses

    will work.,it's a negative meniscus lenses.

    while 2 Biconvex lenses paralled to 2 images create a 3D effect when held up

    to your eyes at focal length of 45 mm.It combines 2 images in one image that

    creates 3D effect and Ordinary lenses will not.(imo)

    But maybe it might work too with plano convex lens.Thanks for your 

    suggestion.
