[games_access] SIMVIZ

[Ian Hamilton]

Hi Eelke! The London games co-working space have a regular VR night, taking SIMVIZ along to that would be a great awareness raiser. Is it possible to get hold of a version that I could take along? I assume the PS4 camera version would be difficult to get quickly set up, but I have a google cardboard that I could use?

Hi Barrie,

Thanks for mentioning this project. I also made an app version for Google
Cardboard <https://cardboard.withgoogle.com/>, which you can use with any
Android smartphone, though I am not sure if I will be able to release that.

best Eelke
