This might be good…

Everyone had one of those Viewmaster things, right? I think I had one with Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles pictures in it (yes, Hero Turtles, not Ninja) to complement my TMHT lunchbox. It was kind of 3D, but it was mostly a case of just looking at a series of pictures like a Victorian animated peepshow for kids.

Anyway, Hasbro have now annouced this beast:

The Hasbro My3D fits over an iPhone and can create 3D images. It doesn’t say where the paper wheels fit in though.

What’s most interesting though is that it can apparently handle augmented reality by involving the iPhone’s camera, meaning that even though it’s a toy there could be some seriously interesting applications.  I’m sure it’ll get hacked fairly quickly.
