How to use the QR code to configure the app view with the headset in Google cardboard:

 

  1. Download the Google Cardboard app on Google Play or App Store.
  2. When you open the app you will be asked to scan a QR code. Universal headsets usually have a QR code. If the packaging of your headset doesn't have the QR code on it, you can search for it online or look at this website which has a long long list of headsets with QR codes!
  3. In the Cardboard app, all you need to do is scan the code and this will configure any VR-compatible apps on your phone to have the compatible view with your headset!

 

* In the first time downloading our app and enabling VR mode you would also have been prompted to scan the QR code of your headset, if you have skipped this step previously you can either do it via the Google cardboard app or delete and reinstall our app to be prompted within Amelia to scan the code again!
