This is hilarious, well done Google :).
A truly revolutionary gadget. :)
I didn't find this one particularly funny, until I saw the picture of the guy using it in 'portrait mode'. Well played
Looks like a joke against Apple products presentation. Nice one ;)
I'd like a pair of the rose tinted ones.
"20/20 Resolution" - ooh burn!
Mine must be broken, it's all rather blurry for me.
Doh! Why did I think this was a real product? I blame Apple...
I lost it in the video where it says works with all apps.

By the way, I have a Nexus 5 and never bought a Google Cardboard, is it worth it just for the joke of using it?

Its a pretty interesting experience, obviously not quite as good as a proper VR headset, but for the price its a great way to get a glimpse.
Great for novelty factor and the couple of tiny games available, but loses its novelty pretty quickly.
Better than I expected :D
Despite the obvious considerations du jour, this reminds me of something which happened years ago, against SecondLife. It was something like a campaign, named "Get a first life", with a very apt slogan along the lines of "First life is a 3D world where server lag doesn't exist".

They did have a point, much like the "BEYOND VIRTUAL REALITY. ACTUAL REALITY." slogan in this.

This is the third april fool joke from Google I've seen today. They are taking the whole thing a bit too far.
