LG has announced the VR for G3, a customized plastic version of Google’s virtual reality cardboard headset made for the G3 smartphone. LG will offer the VR for G3 headset for free to people who buy the G3 smartphone later this month in select markets. According to LG, the G3 is supposed to be perfect for its Google Cardboard-based headset due to the positioning of the control/volume buttons on the backplate rather than the side. Google Cardboard is otherwise a foldable piece of cardboard with built-in lenses that create a virtual reality headset that interact with VR apps and games on the screen. The headset relies on a smartphone, which is placed inside the cardboard holder. In addition to the free headset, LG is offering a free VR game download with its headset supplied in a QR code.
