    It's definitely possible! On Gear VR and Cardboard, you can use the phone on the camera for pass through (ie stream what the forward facing camera sees to the phone screen in real-time). A common package to use is Vuforia, but I've heard of some issues with high costs recently.

    You might be able to start with these, best of luck:
