Google and toy-maker Mattel launch View-Master as a $30 VR headset
Earlier this month, Google along with toy-maker Mattel had sent out an invite that read “view what’s possible.” Now, both companies have confirmed that they are teaming up to revamp the classic View-Master device, injecting it with digital-age virtual reality.
The upgraded View-Master – a device unveiled in 1939 to allow people to view slides to simulate a three-dimensional experience – will become “an immersive digital experience for kids,” a statement from the two companies said.
Looks like, Google is now looking to woo younger audiences. It recently acquired the augmented reality firm Launchpad Toys.
A sample reel allows users to experience a journey into space with a tour inside a space shuttle, and a chance to explore destinations in 360 degrees. Additional reel packs will be sold separately.
