The View-Master, a stereoscope for viewing 3D images on cardboard disks, has a fascinating history with several fun facts that highlight its journey from educational tool to popular children's toy:

1. **World's Fair Introduction**: The View-Master was introduced at the 1939 New York World's Fair. It was initially marketed as an alternative to the traditional scenic postcard, offering an immersive way to view photographs of landscapes, famous landmarks, and World's Fairs. This period was a time of innovation and the View-Master was seen as a novel way to experience visual content in three dimensions, making a significant impact at the fair.

2. **From Military Tool to Children's Toy**: During World War II, the United States military saw the potential of the View-Master for training purposes. They used it for aircraft identification and other training, taking advantage of the 3D effect to simulate real-life scenarios. After the war, the focus shifted towards the children's market, with reels featuring Disney characters, cartoon favorites, and stories from fairy tales and classical literature, turning the View-Master into a beloved toy for generations of kids.

3. **Space Exploration through View-Master**: In the 1960s, the View-Master produced reels that allowed users to view images from NASA's space missions, including the historic Apollo moon landings. This not only made the View-Master part of the space craze of the era but also provided an educational tool that brought the excitement of space exploration into homes around the world, allowing children and adults alike to experience the thrill of the space race in a personal and immersive way.

These facts highlight the View-Master's unique role in blending entertainment, education, and technology throughout its history.
