Seeing things in 3D

As we get into spring which takes me into spring cleaning I thought I'd look at things I recall from the past

One thing I remember having asa boy was a ViewMaster Viewer which used natural light to view still images that were mounted on a card wheel that rotated.

Technically speaking each frame used super 8 film with each image coming as a pair taken stereoscopically so when viewed through the viewer you had a three dimensional image.

There were may packs of images in set that covered disney films, cartoons, tv shows and cool scientific things like space.

I loved using mine and until around the 1990's it was still here living on the bottom shelf of the vegetable rack.
