Exploring the Universe in Virtual Reality

We create two mobile phone apps which work with the Google Cardboard headset. Google Cardboard is a cheap device that allows you to convert your mobile phone in to a virtual reality headset. We published the two apps on to the Google Play Store for free for people to download.
We purchased 50 headsets which we handed out at several events over the lifetime of the project, through small competitions run at events. At each event we demonstrated the apps and how to use the headsets, allowing people to both experience Virtual Reality there and then, and encouraging them to purchase their own headset to use.
We produced a YouTube video to demonstrate how to use the apps, kept a blog to detail the project as it went along and advertised the apps via social media and through several websites.
To demonstrate the apps at events, we used a smart phone which was lent to us by the technology retailer CeX and a phone which was bought as part of the project.
