This might be a strange question, but I am wondering if I could use Google Cardboard to replace my monitor.

For this I'd like to connect an Ubuntu-Desktop with an Android Smartphone through Bluetooth (or alternatively USB).

Does anybody know how I could accomplish that?

I've made a VNC app for Google Cardboard that you could try. It comes in a free version with ads and a paid version, but if you're up for it you could build it yourself since it's open source.

To get the most out of it I recommend using a lower resolution (or large fonts) on your VNC server. I prefer using a wireless keyboard/mouse connected to the server, but you can also control the pointer with the headset/trigger and use a bluetooth keyboard.

Trinus Gyre seems to work if you have wine and .NET 40 installed. A bit of lag though, hard to play games with. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loxai.trinus.test&hl=en
