The second-largest US toy maker is set to unveil to investors on Tuesday a handheld device called My3D that attaches to the two Apple Inc devices. It promises three-dimensional content that offers a 360-degree experience in gaming, virtual travel experiences and entertainment content. It's aimed at both children and adults.
The device, which resembles a pair of binoculars with a slot in which users insert their iPod or iPhone, will be priced at US$30. It will be available starting next spring at stores where Apple's iPhones and iPod Touches are available.
Shoppers can then visit Apple's App store, which will allow shoppers to browse for additional My3D content. Content varies in price; some apps will be free.
Hasbro said it was guided by Apple during development and believes there's nothing available that matches the quality and 3-D experience on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
If it catches on, it has big potential. More than 125 million iPod Touches and iPhones have shipped, according to Shaw Wu, senior research analyst at Kaufman Bros LP. He predicts that will hit 200 million by end of 2011. 'The issue with this is whether they are going to get enough content for it,' Mr Wu said

Intriguing idea!
Oh boy, I can experience 3d for the low low price of $30! (Plus the cost of two iPods, and walking around with a pair of retarded binoculars with iPods sticking out thereby forfeiting all dignity)
I'm not quite sure what that thing does, is it going to take photos in 3d? or present a 3d screen? I'm not quite sure I understand what type of 3d they are aiming for.
please, I barely want 3D while sitting in a movie theatre
Probably will be really choppy. What's the iphone/pod refresh rate?
If my iPod is held by those binocular things, how the hell am I meant to play it?
it will be shit guys, trust my avatar
Next thing we know people wont buy things if they dont have 3d support.
This is a fucking stupid idea.

It'd make fapping more fun, but fuck those glasses are a bit excessive. I've seen night vision smaller than that shit.

if thats for 3d porn it seems worth it
wait so how the fuck do you use the touchscreen if its right in front of your eyes..
Will it have big potential? No.
Will it be funny to watch your friends stagger around after using this? Definitely.
3D hasn't picked up on TV or cinema tbh. Why the hell would it pickup on hand held devices if you need to have those goggles with you.
What a load of balls.
Virtual Boy anyone?
