CARDIAC (CARDboard Illustrative Aid to Computation) via Adafruit Industries [Shared]

Back in the 1960’s and early 70’s Bell Labs made some very sophisticated educational kits available to high schools and colleges. Designed for classroom use, they included wonderful manuals written by Bell Labs staff. One of these kits, introduced in 1968, was CARDIAC: A CARDboard Illustrative Aid to Computation.

CARDIAC is a learning aid developed by David Hagelbarger and Saul Fingerman for Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1968 to teach high school students how computers work. The kit consists of an instruction manual and a die-cut cardboard “computer”.

@PolGM hello, il fut un temps où ceci était supporté par bcp d'apps et d'exps WebVR ... mais avec cette tendance toxique "hype and down" (haut et bas) de la #VR et l'abandon de GGL et Samsung (voire #mozilla ) derrière cette tech ont fait que beaucoup d'app ont abandonné le support pour le #cardboard alors que c'est la plus simple et efficace manière d'aborder ce médium

Been working on repairing the old DVR Doom port for the defunct Google Cardboard. There was a lot of shenanigans with deprecated classes and permissions and I had to remove some functionality that modern Android won't allow for, but at least it works now.

Performance is far from amazing, but I had some fun with it already, using my old Nexus 6.

I do intend to hack a "non-gyroscope" mode, to allow simpler phones to enjoy it as well.
