What is a Line? (View Master)

View-Master

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
 
A View-Master Model G, introduced in 1962

View-Master, since 1939, has been a device for viewing seven 3-D images (also called stereo images) on a paper disk. Although the View-Master is now considered a children's toy, it was originally marketed as a way for viewers to enjoy stereograms of colorful and picturesque tourist attractions.




I happen to own a vintage 1960's view master, and I thought this would be a really interesting way of trying to display a journey either in several different frames or in one continuous panoramic photograph, so instead of being restricted to one image you would have a point of focus and blur that is your peripheral vision of the rest of the image. this is at this stage all thought I plan to explore the different possibilities and the logistics of how this might or might not work.
