A Wider Net

I found myself hanging around a friend during one of last weeks holiday gatherings who specializes in 3D of all sorts from the old nostalgia to the new IMAX movies. He was sharing some astonishing 3D still photos he had taken at various exotic places when he mentioned that he also produces 3D View-Master reels for corporations. It warmed my heart to hear that, not only are corporations recognizing the nostalgic karma they achieve by gifting these nifty contraptions to people, but they’re actually funding original relevant content for them.

If you’re interested in this stuff check out the official View-Master site, or one of these sites here, here, and here.
My friend’s site is also great 3D reference: Studio3D.com.

And as far as the relevance to New Year’s is concerned: Here is a View-Master reel that brings you into Times Square for New Year’s Eve at the Millenium.

Also, don’t forget about the American Paper Optics people. They specialize in branded paper 3D glasses, including 3D “fireworks glasses” used at (you guessed it) First Nights everywhere.
