Just in Time for Christmas, a New Version of the Viewmaster
You probably had one growing up, I know I did - a Viewmaster. I can even remember the guy who voiced the TV ad saying, "Just put in the reel and click." But, come this Christmas, a new and improved Viewmaster will hit the market. Mattel is teaming up with Google to come out with an updated 21st century version.
The new version features a headset with a slot that actually turns your smartphone into the viewing screen, which you then activate by installing an app. Depending on the quality of your screen resolution, company officials say the new device will be able to take you just about anywhere.
"You'll be able to experience anything from standing on the street in San Francisco to walking amongst dinosaurs."
The new version Viewmaster is expected to sell for around $30.
