Building for Google Cardboard without Google VR SDK?

Questions & Answers
1

Do I have to use the Google VR SDK to create a mobile VR app that will function on any phone?

The Unity VR tutorials only mention the Vive, Occulus and Samsung Gear. How would I build a Google Cardboard app? Is it the same minus the Occulus SDK?

Thanks!

You need a 5.6 version of unity. Currently it is in public beta and about a week later a full version will be released. Set your build target to android and add Cardboard to the supported VR devices in the Player Settings.
