@retrosteveuk That's great!

I've still got my early red one, along with a more recent (smoother corners) version. I'm trying to remember what slides I've got... might just have to go and have a look!

I also picked up one of these kids projectors over the years. Of course with this you don't get the 3D effect.

Fun fact, the slides fit quite nicely into a floppy disk box...

Ads are creeping in more often on streaming services thees days. But it's not a new trend. 📺

On this vintage #ViewMaster reel note that the first image is an ad, while it promises “scenes from just six…” - not 7, but you won’t miss that last one. (Yes, this is a promo reel, but I couldn’t help myself 😜)

I pulled an old reel out after reading this post from Lucasfilm's Pablo Hidalgo on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/infinata.bsky.social/post/3lojsmqrxn22b

With snow in #Chicago ❄️, this weekend I’m reminiscing about warmer times with my View-Master collection. 📷🖼️

It’s nice to enjoy a low-tech glimpse of autumn through the Covered Bridges & Fall Foliage of New England. 🍁

Currently making View Master discs for a show in San Francisco. Made using transparency film and laser cut recycled paper, the work will be displayed on this vintage (1950s) View Master.

This work is about fog and trans visibility and is part of a larger body of work on the same subject.

Thinking about the potential of low/no power display technologies of the past and what their formal qualities (in this case 7 stereographic images in intimate proximity of the body) might offer.

My mother just found this in an old box. I’m so excited for my daughter to play with it!

I just binge-watched three #ViewMaster discs with pics from Denmark c. 1960. That's 21 stereo photos in one session.

Put the disc in the slot at the top, press the lever on the right side, and look through the lenses: you'll see the first of seven #stereoscopic views. Press the lever again to see the next image. The description of what each slide shows is printed on the disc, and is visible through an opening above and between the lenses. For more information, read the included 16-page booklet. #Viewmaster

This is what vintage virtual reality looked like.

https://youtu.be/1JxAv3-QOzc

It was analog. I didn't use a computer. It was called the View-Master.

This (the View-Master) was among my childhood toys in the 1970s and 1980s.

Although I think they were around as early as the late 1930s.

@llewelly @Akki Definitely meant to be Ceratosaurus, that's what it used to look like in the 50s - 80s, with one big nasal horn. I have the iconic ViewMaster slide images etched in my mind from when I was a child.

@FediThing
There no longer seems to be a market for cool stuff that's not on a phone.
My favorite toy is still my #ViewMaster https://masto.ai/@tanquist/109617207519622439
