I did work on Cardboard. The SDK was open sourced to some extent at https://github.com/googlevr/cardboard . But I doubt Cardboard Camera will be open sourced since everyone has moved on. I was disappointed when I could no longer run the app since it's 32-bit only.

It is working flawlessly on my current phone despite it having a aarch64 CPU, I guess that my OS must have some kind of multilib setup to keep compatibility with 32 bits apps. I am really anxious of not being able to continue capturing stereopanoramas whenever I will have to replace my trusty Huawei P30... Is there any way of knowing in advance if a given phone would be able to run Cardboard Camera ? I have built a collection of 200+ panoramas and really enjoy capturing some more when I am visiting new places. I got even more into this since I hacked myself some workflow to convert them and finally viewed them in all their glory in my Quest 2. The stereoscopic effect makes them really immersive ! I want to make the collection public when I will have taken the time to make a more practical/pretty listing page.
