WIN a CHANCE to RECORD your WORLD in 3D

21st century Viewmaster up for grabs

Competition Youtube Video

There are lots of devices which allow you to turn your mobile phone into a 21st century Viewmaster, but the Poppy is special. While the Google Cardboard, Durovis Dive and VRase all let you experience side-by-side video in 3D, only the Poppy will also let you record it.

Available from Firebox, it’s a device where you can slide in an iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5C, 5S or 5th gen iPod Touch with rear camera and view pictures diableries style.

But something the Victorian pioneers never dreamed of was colour... or moving images ... or smartphones. They certainly never dreamed that you could have a whole moving picture studio in your pocket. But you do and all you need to turn those magic lantern stories into 3D movies is a Poppy.

You could buy one for £50, but we’ve got one to give away to a lucky Reg reader. We want to give the prize to someone who knows their phones, so I went to one of my boxes of old phones and pulled 10 of them out. I’ve taken pictures of their midriffs and where necessary photoshopped names and logos out.

Wina Poppy

Name the 10 phones and your entry goes into the draw for the Poppy. One entry per person, UK entrants only ... and we’ll close the competition on 20 October. ®
