is perhaps too early to ascertain all about Christmas presents to think, but it is definitely on my list. The iconic View-Master Mattel comes back on the market. This time not with diaschijfjes but as Virtual Reality glasses for smartphones.
Clicking a phone in the view-master and turn your head, you can look around in 360 degrees in a city or other space . It works just like a Oculus Rift and uses the basic Google Cardboard. There will be late this year a version for the iPhone.
Google gadget and Mattel announced just before the weekend during a press conference. Since the word iPhone was not practical because Google Cardboard supports standard not iOS. Fortunately, the platform opens and Mattel also make apps for the iPhone.
The original View-Master was in the 80′s and 90′s popular toys. There were round diaschijven in glasses, who ran with the press of a button. So could be a story ‘seen’. The new View-Master also comes with slices, but only serve to start the experience. All content is digitally via an Android and iPhone app. For now, the device is limited to stereoscopic photographs, video may be added later.
Officially the new View-Master is still a toy. With a price of $ 30 for the hardware and $ 15 for a real pack ‘can also be an adult is no bump to fall
