If you want a picture of the future, imagine a smartphone strapped on a human face. That's virtual reality, as delivered through Google Cardboard.
Google Cardboard, introduced in 2014 and now in its second incarnation, could soon see further improvements. According to the Financial Times, Google is planning an update that includes sensors, higher quality lenses, and a sturdy plastic shell. The revised mobile VR viewer is expected to continue to rely on an inserted smartphone as its display screen.
