Video Viewmaster

Ok let me start this news article with :

Don’t try this at home, EVER!”

What you see here, is a modified Viewmaster, with LCD screens, which needless to say, doesn’t translate well onto video itself, but testimonies from friends of the creator who have tried it, seem to be pretty impressed.

I needed a viewer that would present each image to each eye independently while maintaining focus and positioning. For this I took my previously dismantled 3D tomytronic game.

Each LCD (128×160×8) as sat in the viewfinder aligned so each eye saw a different screen. This is similar to how the original tomytronic worked, except they used a single LCD with 2 sets of elements on it offset in position. I used 2 LCDs as mine were fully graphical and it was easier this way.
