## What it is
Google's VR SDK for Unity, enabling developers to build virtual reality apps for Android and iOS using Cardboard and Daydream. It is deprecated; Google now directs developers to the open-source Cardboard SDK and Unity XR Plugin.

## Use cases
- build a cardboard VR app in Unity
- develop a Daydream VR game for Android
- add VR head tracking to a Unity mobile app
- maintain a legacy Daydream app on Google Play
- build smartphone VR experiences for iOS

## When to choose
- maintaining or updating an existing Daydream or Cardboard Unity app
- targeting legacy smartphone VR viewers on Android or iOS

## When to avoid
- starting a new VR project - use the Cardboard SDK or Unity XR Plugin instead
- developing for modern VR headsets like Quest or Index
- needing ongoing support or updates
