Actually you just insert the GvrViewerMain.prefab in the scene, this prefab change all your cameras in Stereoscopic rendering, u just need put ur FPSController and modify the 101 line in script FirsPersonController.cs inside him.

Change this line

Vector3 desiredMove = transform.forward*m_Input.y + transform.right*m_Input.x;//MODIFIED TO WALK FOR EVER

U just need replace m_Input.y by Time.deltaTime, like this.

Vector3 desiredMove = transform.forward*Time.deltaTime + transform.right*m_Input.x;//MODIFIED TO WALK FOR EVER

more clean solution:

Add a camera in your scene, add a characterController component.; Add a new script inside the camera:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class movement : MonoBehaviour {

    public float speed = 6.0F;
    public float jumpSpeed = 8.0F;
    public float gravity = 20.0F;
    private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
    void Update() {
        CharacterController controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
        if (controller.isGrounded) {
            moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
            moveDirection *= speed;
            if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
                moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;

        }
        moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
        controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

Here is a AutoWalk.cs script from github that I personally use to make my character walk. This script makes the camera (and the binded character) move forward with a simple head tilt or magnet trigger. https://github.com/JuppOtto/Google-Cardboard/blob/master/Autowalk.cs

NOTE: The code in github is for Google Cardboard SDK. So you will have to modify it a little bit if you want to make it compatible to the latest Google VR SDK (few variable name changes).

This is however a temporary fix that I recommend as we wait for Google to release DayDream
