Ever been warned that sitting too close to the TV might damage your eyesight? It won't. That probably won't stop this electronic View-Master from giving your poor mother a heart attack, however.

Tuttle of Hacker Consortium writes,

"[The toy has] 2 Colby 1.5 inch digital key chain picture frames lined up with each lens to create a digital stereoscope [...]. The two new digital screens sit in line with where the original design would have the dual film images sitting.

Prototype setup with two LCD screens and a breadboard for electronic components.

When you pull the lever, it taps a switch inside the gizmo to progress to the next image. Power is on the top, USB ports on the side. Just plug 'er in load your images and or charge the screens, then you're good to go."
