The marker can be found under the block that comes with each figure. Each core Mattel Minecraft figure comes with the marker ready to be scanned.

While both allow you to access the same virtual reality content, the physical packs come with unique reels that allow you to view Augmented Reality content.

Follow these steps:

• Per the instruction sheet, the wing pack with missile figure must be properly locked into place first.  A click sound will indicate that it’s properly locked. 

• While cranking the dial clockwise, you will hear a slight clicking noise.  You will hear a LOUD click after several turns.

• For the best launch, crank the dial clockwise until you hear the second LOUD clicking noise.  This will be after at least 7 full revolutions, which equates to about 14 turns (2 turns per revolution).

• After cranking the dial, ensure that wing pack is still locked into place.

• For maximum distance, angle the toy so the missile figure is at a 30 degree angle.  Then press the button to launch.

 

Absolutely! Beyond the initial three Experience Packs of Space, Destinations, and National Geographic Wildlife, new experiences will be released throughout 2016 and beyond.

Although they are not needed to enjoy all of the virtual reality content within each Experience Pack app, the physical reels provide an extra layer of interactivity called Augmented Reality (AR). It’s important to remember that having the physical reels is the only way to enjoy the Augmented Reality content. When you place a reel on the table and look at it through your View-Master® VR viewer, Augmented Reality icons will appear above the reel. These 3D icons serve as a menu – by selecting an icon with a click of the viewer’s lever, you can launch different experiences. In addition, some Experience Pack apps feature a library of Augmented Reality models that you can explore, but only if you have the physical reels to trigger them.

Some users may have success holding the viewer over your glasses, while others with larger glasses may need to take their glasses off before using the View-Master.

The Preview Reel allows you to access the sample content of the View-Master® VR Experience Packs. Simply download any View-Master® app and select PREVIEW REEL when prompted to get a free demo of the full experience.

Your finger needs to be touching the black strip on the lever. Don’t tap the lever too gently. Make sure you pull the lever all the way down. Hold it in place for a second to ensure that it registers.

If you have an iPhone 5 or 5c, make sure you are using the adapter.

If none of those solutions work, launch a VR experience then remove your smartphone and tap the gear icon at the bottom of the screen. Follow the prompts to configure your viewer (you may be required to download the Google Cardboard app). Follow the prompts to scan the QR code inside your viewer or use the QR code below.

The apps are designed for your device to go into the viewer in only one orientation. Rotate your device counter-clockwise to be sure that the top of your phone (the part where the earpiece is) is on the left before putting it into the View-Master® viewer.

The app will not function properly if your device has its orientation lock on. On iOS, swipe up from the bottom of your screen and check that this feature is OFF. Settings may vary for different Android Devices. The Orientation settings can usually be found in the Settings under the Display Settings function.

This means there is a figure waiting to be scanned. When you tap the tile, it will let you know which toy you need to unlock that content.

Because of its text-based visuals, View-Master® VR is designed for kids 7 and up. We have worked with an ophthalmologist to ensure that View-Master® VR is optically safe for use by children. As with all screen time, we recommend parents follow pediatric guidelines to determine age appropriate viewing times.
