Jonathan Linowes is the owner of Parkerhill Reality Labs, a start-up VR/AR consultancy firm. He is a VR and 3D graphics enthusiast, full-stack web developer, software engineer, successful entrepreneur, and teacher. He has a fine arts degree from Syracuse University and a master's degree from the MIT Media Lab. He has founded several successful start-ups and held technical leadership positions at major corporations, including Autodesk Inc. He is also the author of the Unity Virtual Reality Projects book by Packt Publishing.
Matt Schoen is the cofounder of Defective Studios and has been making VR apps since the early DK1 days. Still in the early stages of his career, he spent most of his time working on Unity apps and games, some for hire and some of his own design. He studied computer engineering at Boston University and graduated with a BS in 2010, at which point he founded Defective with Jono Forbes, a high-school friend. He has been making games and apps ever since. Matt was the technical lead on Defective's debut game, CosmoKnots, and remains involved in Jono's pet project, Archean. This is his first foray into authorship, but he brings with him his experience as an instructor and curriculum designer for Digital Media Academy. Jono and Matt have recently joined Unity's VR Labs division, where they will be helping to create experimental new features which will shape the VR landscape for years to come.
Scott Dolim has worked on and off in 3D computer graphics for over 20 years, including a 5-year stint at Walt Disney Feature Animation in the 1990s. More recently, for the last 5 years, he has been actively involved in virtual reality development, mostly with Unity 3D. Scott currently works at Google where he is the lead engineer of the Cardboard SDK for Unity.
Oleksandr Popov is a developer of numerous 3D apps, mainly live wallpapers, for Android devices. His first experience with 3D for Android started in 2012 when with the release of Android 2.2, it became possible to create live wallpapers. Since then, he has released about 15 of them in collaboration with his brother, Dmytro, who is responsible for creating 3D scenes. After releasing each app, he gained more and more experience in OpenGL ES. Basically, he tried almost every new feature of Android where 3D and OpenGL can be applied. He started with live wallpapers in Android 2.2, then he added support of the daydream mode for them in 4.2. He started using some of the features of OpenGL ES 3.0 introduced in Android 4.3. And as soon as Google added support of custom watch faces for Android Wear 5.0, he and his brother created a set of 3D watch faces for smart watches too. Of course, after Google announced Cardboard, he immediately decided to create VR apps for this platform as well.
He and his brother are also coauthors of the Deconstructing Google Cardboard Apps book by Bleeding Edge Press.

Google Cardboard is a low-cost, entry-level medium used for experiencing virtual 3D environments. Its applications are as broad and varied as mobile smartphone applications themselves. This book gives you the opportunity to implement a variety of interesting projects for Google Cardboard using the native Java SDK. The idea is to educate you with best practices and methodologies to make Cardboard-compatible mobile VR apps and guide you through making quality content appropriate for the device and its intended users.
, Virtual Reality for Everyone , defines Google Cardboard, explores it, and discusses how it's used and how it fits in the spectrum of VR devices.
, The Skeleton Cardboard Project , examines the structure of a Cardboard app for Android, takes a tour of Android Studio, and helps you build a starter Cardboard project by introducing the Cardboard Java SDK.
, Cardboard Box , discusses how to build a Cardboard Android app from scratch (based on Google's Treasure Hunt sample) with a 3D cube model, transformations, stereoscopic camera views, and head rotations. This chapter also includes discussions of 3D geometry, Open GL ES, shaders, matrix math, and the rendering pipeline.
