Let's Play! Build your first Cardboard App (en)
summary
Builds a Cardboard app pipeline that actually works: uses OpenGL ES 3.1 iterative geometry to draw many copies of a cube with one draw call and hit ~60 fps on a Nexus 5, generates landscapes from Perlin noise, and runs live shader editing in a web editor. Toolchain compiles JS with Node/Gulp/Browserify, pushes scripts and geometry over the air via Firebase publish/subscribe, renders in an invisible WebView, and uses Visor for remote viewing and Android Wear as input; phones overheat after ~30 minutes.
