Paging 3D fans

[ffutures]

There is apparently about to be a Viewmaster app for iPhones etc. that will let their owners download classic Viewmaster 3D reels and see the pictures in 3D. Eventually to be available for other platforms, apparently including Windows.

Shame that Viewmaster images were so tiny. Hopefully the master negatives are a bit bigger and higher definition. We will see...

This uses a lenticular screen; competes with the Grilli which is a barrier screen (like on the Nintendo 3DS) and the My3D which is a very functional viewer (but a dorky viewer nonetheless). It will be interesting to see how all this develops, especially as rumours abound of Apple giving the next iPad a glasses-free 3d screen.

Format wars... well, if Apple choose to do that it will win. Since I don't currently own compatible hardware it will have to wait for me anyway.
