Cardboard is unrelated to Glass. One is a cheap VR headset designed to allow for a home-wearable 3D display. The other is an AR headset designed to wear out in the world and feed you information in an active, mostly hands-free way. Apart from both involving looking at things and both being by Google, there're really no similarities.
