    When Google first introduced its Cardboard VR concept on June 25th, 2014, there were only a few ways you could try it out yourself. You could either get one for free if you were an I/O attendee, make it yourself based on Google's open-source designs or just buy one. Indeed, a few hours after the I/O keynote ended, Dodocase, a San Francisco-based maker of phone and tablet cases, became the first-ever company to make and sell Cardboard headsets. It sold 15,000 units in the first three weeks, and the headset has since become one of Dodocase's more popular products (the company also made a second gen of it last year). Now two years after it made that decision, Dodocase is ready to step up its VR efforts with a new device it's debuting on Indiegogo. It's called SMARTvr, and no, it's not made from cardboard anymore.
