I recently discovered Google Cardboard, a pair of Virtual Reality glasses built out of cardboard (and your iPhone). My first experience was quite life-changing. OK, that may be a little over-dramatic, but it certainly impacted me in a strong way. My first viewing was of a food drop to refugees in the middle of South Sudan. The feeling of being there to experience that with them was mind-blowing. It was actually very emotional and got me thinking about the experiences that come from these tiny little flat pack glasses.
