Shows that realistic VR experiences can run on a low-cost smartphone plus a Cardboard viewer by using OpenGL ES, the Cardboard SDK and GVR spatial audio. Presents concrete performance targets (about 60–90 fps with roughly a 10 ms frame budget), notes Daydream-compatible phones are under 15 in France while Cardboard viewers cost ~€20, and reports a mobile VR asteroid-shooter prototype with head-tracked raycasting, stereo rendering and spatial audio that demonstrates interaction but encounters thermal, battery and performance limits after ~30 minutes and occasional glitches.
