Google and Mattel give the View-Master a virtual reality overhaul

Let's recall the iconic View-Master toy that first launched in 1939 — it used small colored film that brought images to 3D life. Now, it's getting a massive overhaul with the help of Google and its Cardboard VR (virtual reality) viewer.
Mattel’s new View-Master, which launched on Friday, will debut this fall for $29.99. The View-Master uses Google's virtual reality cardboard technology and it works with various smartphones; users must slide in their mobile device, and pair it with a corresponding app.
