Google Cardboard apps for IOS

Freefaller · 12 Mar 2015 at 10:11

Hi all,

I'm a Nexus 5 user so I've got the Google Cardboard app and it works brilliantly for showing photospheres that I have created.

However at work, the standard devices are iphones and we are using Google cardboard to try out some potential applications in the engineering/construction/railway industry.

Are there any apps that will allow you to read photosphere pictures? I know you can install photospheres on an iphone to take them, but actually using them with google cardboard I am struggling to find something that allows me to do that.

Many thanks.

Have you remembered to also put this question in the apple section of ocuk?

It's working well already with android - but that's contractors using their own devices. If we can find a way of making it work with people's iphones it'll help make this a lot easier to showcase. Unfortunately it seems hard to share a photosphere taken on an iphone with other apps on an iphone.

I got one of my minions to do some research for me and found this:

Works well - hope this is useful to you guys.
