3D Viewing Products
This is a selection of products I recommend to help people view various 3D content. I am not affiliated with any of the products listed here.
Anaglyph (3D) Glasses
The classic 3D glasses that were made popular by 3D Hollywood films of the 50s and 60s. Despite their invention over 100 years ago, it remains one the easiest ways to view 3D content you may find in books, magazines, tv, or on the web. They are typically available in a paper/cardboard packaging but you can also spend a little extra on plastic ones that are more durable.
Lite Owl Stereo Viewer
The design of the stereoscope or stereo viewer goes as far back as the 17th century. Most stereo viewers were bulky and not really portable then. You may be familiar with the View-Master, one of the most commercially popular stereo viewers. It was lightweight and easy to take with you. These have since evolved into more sophisticated headsets used for Virtual Reality (VR). This stereo viewer you see, is a simple plastic (polypropylene) device with acrylic lens inserts. It was created by the London Stereoscopic Company (LSC) founded by Brian May - the lead guitarist of the rock band Queen. It's designed to facilitate the viewing of stereograms or stereo pairs as well as other 3D/VR content found in books, magazines, and mobile devices.
VRKIT By LSC
If you are looking for a more relaxed way to view 3D/VR content on your phone, you may want to consider this neat cardboard kit. It comes equipped with all you need to view stereograms and other 3D/VR content (minus the phone). Alternatively, you can build your own using an existing Lite Owl viewer.
