Virtual reality as a concept has been around for the last 40 years, but until recently it was more of a fantasy. Many of us had our interest piqued in 2012 with the Oculus crowdfunding project only to learn we would still be tethered to a supercomputer.In 2014, Google introduced Google Cardboard and DODOcase became the first company to supply Cardboard VR viewers to the world. We pioneered the space with the capacity touch functionality of our V1.2 and the ease of assembly of our Pop Up series of viewers. We even invested over $60K in open source software development via our DIYVR campaign to try to accelerate web-based VR development tools for easier and more accessible content production. For the last two years, weve been a leader in the Works with Cardboard program selling viewers directly to consumers but also working with brands and advertisers such as The North Face, Elle Magazine, Conan OBrien and 100s more to deliver customized VR experiences to their fans.
Working closely with dozens of industry professionals and with the experience of delivering 10,000+ consumer demos, we arrived at SMARTvr. We realized that as amazing as Cardboard VR is for your first taste of VR, in order to consume all the VR content that is pouring onto our smartphones, we needed something more portable and more durable. SMARTvr is the result of all these inputs. We wanted to build a product that would be your conduit to all the amazing content being created for your mobile phone.
Founded in 2010, DODOcase has been known globally for its tablet and phone accessories. In June 2014, DODOcase launched the first consumer Cardboard Virtual Reality headset and became Google’s first partner in the Works with Cardboard program. We quickly became the source for quality Virtual Reality headsets and partnered with the world’s premiere VR content producers. After 1000s of discussions with consumers and partners we developed SMARTvr. We can’t wait to continue to define the smartphone VR market with you.

This allows SMARTvr to be enjoyed in any environment. This is also a mandate of the ‘Works with Cardboard’ certification program from Google.

The slot has opening on either sides for removal. To reinsert, slot the cover rod into the U shape slot and slide across.
What does the lens cover do?
The lens cover serves two primary purposes. 1) When not in use, the cover protects the lenses from scratches when in your pocket or bag. 2) While in use, the lens cover provides a shield from ambient light entering from above which aids in the sense of immersion.
I’m planning on buying an Oculus, Vive or Playstation VR, why would I want this?
Smartphone VR is all about being on the go and being able to share experiences with friends. We love the high fidelity systems, but they will occupy a different part of the VR market and are designed for use in your home. SMARTvr will be your gateway to thousands of VR experiences and will allow you to show VR to friends and family with ease. Remember, the only way to explain VR is to try VR!
