The Mattel View-Master is a virtual reality headset for smartphones made by Mattel, a toy manufacturer based in the US.

This easy-to-use VR headset is suitable for kids over 7 years old. Users must hold the device up to their face as there are no head straps. This is voluntary so that children do not use the View-Master for too long, avoiding extensive screen exposure.

The View-Master viewer is compatible with all smartphones with a maximum screen size of 6 inches.

Users enjoy this budget VR headset for the nostalgia of the old-school View-Master, but also because the design is sturdy and kid-friendly.
