Google Cardboard support #114

Are you considering support for Google Cardboard? I am an Android developer so could help with the Android side of things if you are willing to consider support for Google Cardboard or VR headsets in general.

Hello, If there is a way to get the headtracking data to Linuxtrack, I have no problem with adding a support for any particular device.

As for the Google Cardboard, I can imagine having an application that sends the data from accelerometers/magnetometer to Linuxtrack, but I have no idea on how to get the videostream back to the phone; is there such a way? Kind regards, Michal

There would be a few ways, but even if you wrote your own app to do it, I also can't think of a way to get video back to the phone with an acceptable level of latency for VR over wifi?
