In this tutorial, we are using iPhone packaging box. You can also use any similar two-piece box that fits your phone. Download the template to position the lenses from Google Cardboard website. (Google Cardboard is a trademark of Google, Inc.) Make sure to download the template for V1 which uses 25mm lenses. (V2 uses different size lenses.)

You can order Miemode M8D VR DIY Edition for lenses, stickers, and head strap from our website. We also have a water-resistant and portable vr headset for those on the go. Check out Miemode M8D VR Headset.
