Sanwa stereoscopic YouTube viewer turns your iPhone into a big-screen 3D TV
Japanese iPhone owners are being given the chance to bathe in the nostalgic glow of the old 3D View-Master -- only now, the pictures will actually move. The Sanwa device works in a similar manner to its ancient mechanical counterpart, but magnifies side-by-side yt3D YouTube movies on an iPhone instead of the classic circular slides. On top of negating the need for custom content like similar products we've seen, this should also yield a brighter and larger 3D viewing area than red-green glasses -- letting you get the most out of that retina display.
DIY'er equips stereoscopic viewer with LCD displays
When you were just a youngin', did you ever wish that your ViewMaster could show video instead of just static pictures? Well, there seems to be at least one DIY'er out there who shares the dream. An enterprising gadgeteer named Pyrofer has modded an old TomyTronic stereoscopic game "system" (just a glorified Tiger LCD handheld, really) with 128 x 128 LCD screens, and is using the device to display a self-contained, Propeller-chip-based 3D game he's working on. The entire system fits inside the housing of the TomyTronic, and is powered by three AA batteries. Check the video after the break to kinda-sorta see the project in action.
