Vintage 3D Viewer

Sep 02, 2021 | ZacHanson

There is a good chance all of you played with these growing up, but incase you never did this is what people played with before everyone had a computer in their pocket masquerading as a phone. Each reel has 7 sets of images, when viewed together they create a 3D effect, using your vision to create an optical illusion of depth. They are simple and timeless and a lot of fun, so we had to make our own!

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do! See you tonight (or tomorrow depending on when you read this) for the ATW + Shout It Out Concert

Haven't seen that in forever... BUT if Hanson makes them and puts them in the store with different reels for songs or the new cartoon.. I'll be all over it.

I'm definitely old enough to remember using and buying them for my kids when they were younger.

Ha!  You guys (Zac) think you are "old people"?  Try being old enough to remember when those were called Viewmasters, and worse being old enough to remember playing with your grandmother's forerunner version!  It was designed to take glass covered plates called "slides" that had the two images in them, and you would push a button to make a light bulb turn on and shine though the images to show you the picture.  I played with that thing every chance I got!!  And had my own Viewmaster which I adored.  Too bad I don't still have it - would be worth bank these days ;-)

Already put the whole bundle on order and can hardly wait until October!!

P.S.  Can we hope to see sets of Taylor's photos available someday?

I don't recall owning one of these, but I do remember playing with them at the houses of my childhood friends. I have to ask, what is the type of filter that you used for this video? It looks like it could have been either "Blockbuster" or "vintage" filters in iMovie, or you played with the hue/saturation. Can you clarify?
