There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I set up the cardboard and tried to use it for this purpose. No instructions came with the google cardboard but googling found generic instructions for setting it up. The online tutorial referred to a "button" and it took me awhile to figure out what they were talking about . I finally found the button which is really just a flap (see first photo), but the button did not work with my smaller iPhone SE. Once I finally got it to somewhat work by manually squeezing the cardboard to hold my iPhone in the proper position, I tried viewing a stereo pair. I thought the lenses were terrible but I finally figured out that they had a rubbery plastic protective film. After peeling that off, the view improved immensely, duh.
I was able to view a 3D stereo pair (photo 5) and it wasn't bad. BUT, the phone kept sliding around the holder. I thought about sending the cardboard back but I think I'll try adapting it for my smaller phone, or making my own viewer to use with my phone (instructions at skylarking 3D viewer).
This device will probably work well enough with a normal size phone (i.e. bigger than my iPhone SE). So, for kind-of-working at the low, low price of $9, I gave it 4 stars.
To view stereo pairs made from an old 3D camera, you first need to scan the positives and then edit them to create a single side by side (SBS) image using the left and right views. Put those SBS images on your phone (Photos app for iPhone is what I used) or google photos. You can find plenty of samples of SBS images by googling "stereo pairs".
It is possible to view the stereo pair transparencies directly by lowering the back of the cardboard and then looking through it while holding the transparency with the light shining through it from the back (4th photo). It's hard to get it aligned that way, but it is possible.
Added note: the photos seem to come up in random order. But you can probably figure out which photo I'm referring to in the review by looking at the text I wrote on the photo itself.

Unit 1:
Will not stay together - the velcro tabs do not hold the unit together.
One of the lenses is scratched.
Very difficult to find the focus. In order to keep the lenses in focus with the phone screen I have to hold the entire unit in place on my face with both and and squeeze a little.
Unit 2.
Not in focus at all. The quality control on these are horrible. There is a every so slight tolerance for distance of your phone screen from the lenses and if it is not almost perfect, then the picture is always blury no matter what you do. The pre-assembly of this unit was botched where the phone screen sits just a fraction of a centemeter off distance and it can't be fixed because it is all glued.
This unit also refuses to stay together. The velcro does not hold and the entire goggles must be held to your face with both hands.
The button mechanism is genius, but also suffers from terrible quality control - It is pre-assembled out of the box and if it is not put together perfectly you can't use it. This is required for using the Google Cardboard UI. I had to take the unit apart, and bend the button mechanism to get it to work.
Both units have poor lens quality in general. The lenses are just over an inch in diameter but only the centimeter in the center is ever in focus. THe rest of your view is always fuzzy, and text is very blurry.
I should have spent a few extra dollars on better ones. I assumed that they'd be usable at least.
