How do I assemble the Google Cardboard viewer?

Please see assembly instructions here. Please handle with care. These viewers are made of cardboard. They are designed to withstand regular use, but if too much pressure is applied they can tear.

7.

What is the QR Code and how do I use it?

The QR (Quick Response) Code is a series of small black squares on a white background and it appears on the Google Card- board viewer. If you have not used your phone with a VR device before, you can ignore this QR Code. If you have previously used your phone with a different VR device, you will need to reset it. When prompted, take a picture of the code using your phone. Doing so will prepare the digital information to transfer data from the previous virtual reality viewer brand and now enable it to function with this particular viewer.
