"3D in Review" for October 10 - 16, 2015 "Who is the Mattel View-Master for?"
4As I feared, this is being blocked in some countries due to the use a copyrighted song "Eye of the Tiger" by the person who created the "kitty" video. I have had YouTube automatically remove the offending song so the lack of audio in beginning associated with the video will have be supplanted with your own humming of "Eye of the Tiger" :) MB
In this episode Mike talks about his experience with the Mattel View-Master and wondering how many children have an IPD (Interocular Pupil Distance) of 60 mm and how easy it was to buy extra VR goodies in-app. Plus we look back our 2-year anniversary roundtable earlier this week and our interview with eora 3D. And finally more 3D news, a kitten and maybe a surprise "Guest Crasher" who goes by the name CEO.

The Print Whisperer:
Chris - For us cavemen in the US: Try Metric. The whole rest of the world uses it and there is a reason. Expand your horizons and learn what 200mm looks and feels like in the real world. It might suprise you how effortless it is to make the switch. Bonus: A lot of common parts like PCBs and off the shelf components are designed overseas in metric, so beware you may never want to go back.
