Google is making a big push into virtual reality today with an updated Cardboard module, as well as new ways to virtually visit locations or enjoy 360-degree video.

The company also announced a partnership with GoPro to design a video system called Jump. A camera setup with 16 GoPro cameras creates a 360-degree field of view you can look around with a VR device.
