Stereoscope Collection By Use Case

On this page, we’ve arranged some of the stereoscopes in our collection by a few interesting use cases they were primarily designed and used for. We know that many stereoscopes were designed, marketed and used as multi-purpose 3D viewing devices and their specific use would be determined by the set of stereoviews purchased for them: travel views, war imagery, erotic photos, etc. A classic example is the View-Master stereoscope which easily falls into several of our categories, depending on which reels it was marketed with. However, the focus here is on viewers that were almost exclusively single-purposed.
