To ensure that all apps in the Google Cardboard app ecosystem work on your Google
Cardboard-inspired device, create a QR viewer profile using the Viewer Profile Generator.
Users will be prompted to scan this profile upon installing Google Cardboard apps
for Android and iOS, so this QR profile should be clearly placed on the device. The
recommended place for the profile is on the viewer itself, but you should also include it
on the viewers packaging, and/or on its website. You can find the detailed guidelines for
sizing, spacing and other details of the generated QR profile in the Viewer Profile and Badge
Guidelines.

3. The bottom seam of the cardboard (next to the rubber band) should not have a gap of
more than 1 x E-flute thickness. Very importantly, that gap should be even across the
seam and should not be tilted/wedged.
4. Layers with phone-facing apertures should be securely glued together.
2. The button should be easily pushable down. After releasing it should spring back.
3. The conductive pillow should be centered within the phone-facing apertures, and
the bottom edge of the conductive pillow should be lined up with the corresponding
cardboard edge.
