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.

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.

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.

Try to increase or decrease ambient lighting. Scanning may function better in different light, depending on the device used. Position the device at mid-range from the sticker, wait for the camera to focus, then slowly back away and/or move closer to optimize the zoom. Make sure your camera lens is clean.
|
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.

Augmented Reality is an effect that overlays digital, 3D images on your physical environment. For instance, when looking through your View-Master® VR viewer at an experience reel sitting on your table – depending on the reel – you might see a 3D model of a spaceship or a dinosaur floating above it. As you move around the reel, you will be able to see other sides of the 3D model as if it was actually there.
