What does a View-Master do?
The View-Master is a vintage tool that presents three-dimensional images.

Who made original View-Master?
A mass consumer device marketed as a toy, the original View-Master came with thin cardboard disks, or reels, containing stereoscopic pairs of small Kodachrome photographs that when viewed through the apparatus created the illusion of three-dimensional scenes.
