App Released: Campfire VR
Campfire VR is now on Google Cardboard, a relaxing experience that places you beside a glowing campfire in a night forest.
Campfire VR is now available for Google Cardboard on Android. Download on Google Play. A WebVR version is also playable in your browser.
The app places you in a low-poly forest at night beside a glowing campfire. The environment features stylized evergreen trees, tents, small purple flowers, and a detailed night sky filled with moving purple and blue nebula clouds and glowing stars. It's designed as a relaxing, immersive experience, no interaction required, just atmosphere.
The camera pans slowly around the campfire, shifting between ground-level forest views and upward tilts toward the sky. Stereoscopic rendering is supported for full Google Cardboard VR, with a back button toggle between VR and standard mode.
