Google wants all apps (http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/20/google-cardboard-app-paul-mccartney/) developed for its Cardboard VR headset (http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/10/google-cardboard/) to work properly with, well, any version of its device. That's tougher than it sounds, since the headset's open-source, and a lot of companies and individual users are tweaking it to their heart's content. To make it happen, Mountain View has launched the "Works with Google Cardboard" project, which gives headset makers the power to ensure their design plays nicely with apps made for the device. It doesn't matter if they use metal or plastic, cut the materials out using any dimension or adjust the optic, so long as they input all those details into the Cardboard website (http://www.google.com/get/cardboard/manufacturers.html) to get a QR code to attach to their creation.
