An anonymous reader writes: After revealing an improved version of Cardboard, the super-low cost virtual reality smartphone adapter, Google has now also freely released the detailed design documents, encouraging people to use them for projects ranging from DIY fun to full blown manufacturing. The v2 version of Cardboard is easier to assemble, has larger lenses, a universal input button, and is bigger overall to support larger phones.

    Its good that ex-hipster dbags, no longer recognizable due to post-peak-beard, are going to self identify by walking around with a cardboard box stuck to their face.

    I worked in the IT dept of a paper box company once. If there's one thing I still remember from the experience, it's that we never ever called it cardboard. It was always corrugated paper.

    I swear, if anyone ever said "carboard" the CEO would punch him in the face.
