Throughout the book, we use the Android Studio IDE development environment to write and build Android applications. You can download Android Studio for free, as explained in Chapter 2, The Skeleton Cardboard Project. You will need an Android phone to run and test your projects. And it's strongly recommended that you have a Google Cardboard viewer to experience your apps in stereoscopic virtual reality.
