Virtual Reality in Android (Code Lab)

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Live code lab shows two concrete builds: one exported with Unity and pure Java OpenGL for Android and iOS, and a photosphere plus a product viewer that runs on Cardboard. Architecture uses an MVP + renderer + interactor pattern, RX Java for model streams, and CardboardActivity callbacks so CardboardActivity provides eye matrices and the right GL thread. Renderer creates floor/ceiling grids, uploads vertex/index buffers to GPU, separates opaque and transparent draws, and uses Android views rendered to bitmaps as textures; implementation runs but needs device testing for GL driver differences.
