Remember View-Master? Take A Look At What It’s Like Now With Virtual Reality

Remember the View-Master? That red device purchased with “reels”, the thin cardboard disks containing seven stereoscopic 3-D pairs of small color photographs on film?

The View-Master system was introduced in 1939, four years after the advent of Kodachrome color film made the use of small high-quality photographic color images practical. Tourist attraction and travel views predominated in View-Master’s early lists of available reels, most of which were meant to be interesting to users of all ages.
