Toronto-based Cordon Media, Inc. has raised more than $21,000 Canadian dollars on a $50,000 Indiegogo campaign for a new virtual reality smartphone headset that works with both iPhones and Android devices, folds up into a slim 15mm phone case, and comes with an innovative multi-touch gesture interface.

The Pinć– pronounced “pinch” — doubles as a standard protective smartphone case and unfolds into a headset, strap included. In addition to the ring controllers, it also comes with a free virtual reality app.

The rings can be used to choose 3D videos to watch, to interact with a map, and even to type on a virtual keyboard.
