View-Master Virtual Reality Starter Pack:

Features

  • An Immersive 3D Experience!

    View-Master® VR that With Google Cardboard places you right in the middle of a “photosphere”! What does that mean? It means you’re completely surrounded by a 360-degree view of the View-Master® experience you’ve selected to explore! While holding the viewer to your eyes, move your head -- literally, move your head -- and you’ll find that your view changes just as if you were really standing within the scene taking a look around. No matter which way you look, you’ll find the image stretches around you, above you and behind you as if you were really there! And with a simple click of the lever, you can interact with the image and explore the virtual world around you!

  • An Easy-to-Use Experience

    The experience is easy to enter. View-Master® VR that Works With Google Cardboard is compatible with iOS and Android devices. Just download the free app for your iOS or Android device, slide your device into the viewer and you’re ready to go! Look through the viewer at the Preview Reel and digital icons appear that seem to float in the air above it -- an effect called augmented reality. Choose the experience you want by looking at the appropriate Augmented Reality icon and, with a single click of the View-Master® lever, launch yourself into a virtual reality world.
