Revision as of 11:16, 19 August 2007
Template:Realworld View-Master (or ViewMaster) is a three-dimensional viewing device that utilizes specially produced image reels which, when inserted into and viewed through the viewer, create 3-D stereo images. Since its creation in 1939, the View-Master has been produced in many forms and by many companies. Currently, Fisher-Price (a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc.) makes the device.
Over the years, five STAR TREK projects have been made for the View-Master viewer. The first and last were shot on set while the episodes were being filmed, whereas the second consists of drawn art based on the Animated episode, and the two movie-based sets consist of 2-D photos processed into “layered” 3-D images. Additionly, the first three sets were released in the original square paper envelopes (complete with story booklets), while the latter two saw release exclusively on “blister cards” (long cardboard cards with the reels held on in plastic “blister” bubbles) and with two different release numbers. And the second set was also released in a version usable with the "Talking View-Master" Viewer available at the time (Reel Set AVB555). [NOTE: Presumably, the ST: TMP set was also released on blister card, but only as part of a Gift Set (Reel Set 2362).]
