n’t stereoscopic resolution be severely limited by low resolution of regular LCD displays? Youtube has some stereo clips and when I zoom them out to the resolution of a typical Nokia-ph

@John Harrison

Do you mean something like this for Android based phones: http://phandroid.com/2009/10/27/android-virtual-reality-goggles-how-to-video/

I took a walk across a pretty large toy store and I could find no View-Master-alikes and the personnel only shrugged when I asked them. This is funny, one’d think that they are not more obsolete today than they were 20 years ago when they were omnipresent.

On a side note: wouldn’t stereoscopic resolution be severely limited by low resolution of regular LCD displays? Youtube has some stereo clips and when I zoom them out to the resolution of a typical Nokia-phone screen, differences between left and right eye seem to scale away to sub-pixel range.

Not a hack. He didn’t make the LCD screen himself.

I did something similar with a PSP. My biggest issue was getting the focus right to where it wouldnt give you headaches. The screen simply too small for this.

Looks like the craft from Elite.

That would be so cool, to be able to play Elite on a re-purposed Tomytronic 3D :)

You could throw an accelerometer into the mix so you have to tilt your head to steer the ship, like the Radica Stealth game which you hold like a Tomytronic 3D and has a rudimentary gyroscope like sensor for flight control but only one screen instead of two.

I remember having this game when I was 8. I screwed it apart and couldn’t get it back together… now 20 years later I wish I still had the parts.

@John harrison

Would certainly save on the battery.

Looks like he has given up on the twin LCD screens and now just has one screen that works for both eyes. Somebody should come up with a view master hack that you can stick an iPhone in…
