Implement VR/AR Features:

Use the Google Cardboard SDK to implement VR/AR features into your
application. This may include features like head tracking, gaze-based
interactions, and stereoscopic rendering.

Test the Application:

Regularly test your application on a compatible smartphone with a Google
Cardboard headset. Ensure that the VR/AR experience is smooth and
without any major issues.

Optimize Performance:
VR/AR applications require high performance to ensure a smooth
experience. Optimize your application's performance by reducing
unnecessary graphical complexity and using efficient coding practices.

Add AR Features (Optional):

If you want to include augmented reality features, consider using AR
frameworks like ARCore (for Android) or ARKit (for iOS).

Publish the Application:

Once your application is fully developed and tested, you can publish it to
the respective app stores (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App
Store for iOS) or make it available for download on your website.
