10,000 Google Cardboard Headsets Handed Out to Fans during the Patriots' Practice

A lot of brands want to be part of the coming virtual reality revolution and those in the forefront of the innovation are busy working on getting the masses hyped up for the VR storm. This is evident in Google Cardboard's collaboration with Visa and Bank of America. More than 10,000 customized Google Cardboard head mounts were handed out on Dec. 6 to fans within the Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots, before the Patriots' game with the Philadelphia Eagles. Earlier this year, the New York Times also started  incorporating the technology and produced a couple of films during the launch of its VR app to tell a more compelling story by taking the viewers on location.
