Not sure if trolling but... The first Oculus dev kit shipped 50k in 2013. Cardboard wasn't announced until I/O 2014.

  > The first Oculus dev kit shipped We're talking about consumer items, not dev kits. In reality, Google Cardboard was the first (modern) VR kit released.

    Is Cardboard a consumer item? It's been pretty straight to dev expect marketing promotions and Google IO handouts.

      I think it's not a real "serious" product; more of a "gag", if anything. I think it was Google's way at having fun with all the VR hype around last year's I/O conference (and to show it's not anything really groundbreaking).

      A bunch of Chinese companies started pumping out Cardboard clones pretty much as soon as it was announced and at least one commercial VR porn company is using them.
