Google VR NDK

The Google VR NDK for Android lets you create VR apps for Cardboard or Daydream.

To get the Google VR NDK, do the following:

Make sure you have the latest version of the Android NDK installed.
Download or clone the gvr-android-sdk GitHub repository.
Extract the NDK .so files by running:
```
./gradlew :extractNdk
```

After completing these steps, you'll find the header files in gvr-android-sdk/libraries/headers and the extracted .so files in gvr-android-sdk/libraries/jni. See the Getting Started guide for examples of linking against these files.

Google VR code samples for Android

The Android NDK code samples for Cardboard and Daydream are in the samples directory of the repository. See the Getting Started guide for more information on building the demos.
