Prototype 2

Today after a long time of seeking an original View Master I finally got them! I got two beautiful models from a toy collector down in Brescia (1 hr away from Milan). They are pretty sleek and today I started building the 2nd prototype.

The idea of this 2nd prototype is representing different online identities with physical View Master reels. By placing this different reels on the View Master your matching id will be shown on a LCD screen. Its pretty easy, works with Arduino with an attached RFID reader to it. This is my first time on the modeling shop, and today with the help of Patrizio, I almost done with the extra add on part to the existing View Master.
