- (Finebros) So in today's episode,
you are not reacting to a video. - Oh, okay.
- (Finebros) Instead you're reacting to this.
- (gasps deeply) A View-Master!
- Oh, I remember these!
- Never had one, but I remember them in school.
- I had one of these when I was, like, seven.
- We'd stick these little cards in here and view away.
- Oh, it's safari.
- Hippopotamus. Love it. (lever clicks)
- The baby monkey is riding on top of bigger monkeys.
That's so adorable. (lever clicks)
- Guys, I just went on safari. That was so cool.
- It's like you found that one thing
that I've been missing from my childhood.
♪ (industrial music) ♪
- (Finebros) So the View-Master's been around for 70 years.
- Holy schnikes.
- (Finebros) So did you know
there is a brand-new version of the View-Master coming out?
- No!
- I'm getting one. Go on. (guffaws)
- I had no clue. I hope I get to react to that.
Bring it! Bring it!
- (Finebros) Well, by using an app on your phone
and Google Cardboard technology and a new View-Master,
you can experience things like never before
utilizing virtual reality now. - Oh dude, I love that.
- (Finebros) Do you want to see it? - (gasping excitedly)
- (excitedly) Yes!
- You actually have it?! (deep gasp)
- Oh my god.
- (valley girl voice) Wow, it's so fancy.
- It still looks kind of like '80s.
I think it looks cool though.
- (dramatic voice) View-Master 2.0.
- (Finebros) So before you look at it, look at the front,
and you'll see that there's a phone in there.
- Oh, okay, so you put your phone in there.
- Is that a trigger? - (Finebros) Yep, there's your trigger.
Same thing. - (giggles)
- Can I put it on now?
- (Finebros) Go for it and tell us what you see.
- All right. Let's see.
(gasps loudly)
Oh, that's frickin' awesome! Look at that!
- Whoa!
(gasps) Oh my god, I can look around?
(gasps)
- Oh wow, it keeps going.
- I see elephants and drinking water.
I feel like I'm standing there.
- Elephants.
Zebras.
- Oh, and you can see the Sun too. Wow!
No one's gonna go outside anymore.
- Oh my god, look at the lion.
What's he do-- oh my god, so many things about him!
- I'm learning things, and there's a video?
- Oh, I can play a movie?
Oh. This is incredible!
- "A male lion's roar can be heard from up to 5 miles away."
(device squeals) - Oh. Okay.
Wow, they give the name, the Latin name.
- Where's my zebra homeys?
I saw-- oh, there you are!
Yeah! Zebra!
Oh dude, I can't say his Latin name.
- My kids would love this.
- This is so awesome and educational.
- It's so much more interactive
than just staring at a cardboard disk with some film in it.
- It's the different between reading a book
and having the book acted out in front of you.
- (Finebros) So there's lots of different animals
and different places you can explore,
but we're gonna bring you somewhere else.
We're gonna bring you to outer space.
- Oh, that's so cool.
- (softly) Cool, I love space.
(gasps) Oh, this is awesome!
- Oh, this is so cool.
- Is there a TARDIS in this?
- There's Saturn.
Where is the third ro-- there she is.
- Oh my god.
It's like you're in your own observatory in your face.
- Now can I do this and do a--
(device clicks) (gasps) Yep!
Now I'm on a planet.
- There's even asteroid belts and stuff.
(device clicks)
(gasps) That is so cool!
- Whoa! Hey, Neptune.
Whoa. I'm over it. Wo-ha-ow!
You can see a 360 of the planet. Holy crap.
- I clicked on it, and I isolated that planet.
And now as I rotate, I am like a moon rotating around the planet.
And I can get the-- you know, this is bitchin'.
- (Finebros) So when you're by a planet,
if you don't look at the planet but look right beside it
and then hit the View-Master button,
it should bring up a menu screen with other options.
- (gasps) Okay, I see it now.
- All right, let me go info. Fun Facts. Love that term.
- Do you think this is how teachers are gonna teach
in the future?
- "Mars: the red planet. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun."
- I'm on Venus, the hottest planet.
Oh, and there's an arrow button to-- wow.
There's so much stuff.
- (Finebros) So another thing you can do in that menu screen
is there should be a mini-game you can play.
- No way.
- Main Menu, Audio.
(gasps) "Play mini-game." Okay, I see it.
♪ (funky space music) ♪
(gasps)
- Am I shooting things?
(in game: blasting) Oh, I'm shooting moon rocks.
- Okay. (cracks up)
As in life and in virtual reality, I'm a terrible gamer.
But this is really cool!
- What the?
Okay, wait a second. Does this have anything to do
with the gravitational pull on the-- there you go. Okay.
(cracking up) "Venus' gravity."
- Science is cool.
Whoever said that it wasn't is a liar.
- Now look at this.
Bam! (cackles)
That was really fun.
- (Finebros) Okay, so what did you think about the technology?
- I like this technology.
- Awesome. Way cooler than this thing.
- It was fun, educational. It's perfect.
- What a way to keep kids' attention.
They walk away learning something.
- I feel like they're gonna have a set of this,
like these, in every classroom.
It's revolutionary. It really is.
- (Finebros) Do you feel like kids today
would want a toy like this?
- Yeah. Oh yeah. My kids would love it.
- Absolutely. I want one. (laughs)
- It takes learning and presents it in a fun way.
- It's gonna take me a little while maybe
to come up with another toy
that would be able to compete with this.
- Gen Z is all about do-it-yourself education and self-education.
So (sputters lips) perfect.
- This is nice that people can enjoy something that we enjoyed.
May be a little bit cooler.
It's a classic, you know? You want these things to thrive.
- (Finebros) Do you wish you had this View-Master
when you were a kid? - Yes.
- Oh yeah! Man!
My mom would have to drag me away kicking and screaming!
- Well, sure.
This is the thing you have to remember.
Like, every little advance.
Like, someday people will look at that and be like,
"Oh my god, that's so old school."
- My kids have this full 80 years to see this kind of thing
grow into-- I don't know, what do you think?
You think we're gonna have flying cars?
- (Finebros) So finally, can you talk about the evolution
of technology and toys. Where do you think this is going,
seeing how far the View-Master has gone in 70 years?
- What is next?
They're basically just gonna put a computer inside of everything.
- Everything is becoming digital is what's going to happen.
You're gonna play with virtual dolls.
- Holograms, totally. Can you imagine if you went to class,
they had old history figures come in your classroom
as holograms and talk to you?
That'd be way cooler than just sitting there in a lecture.
- Are they gonna be able to fully put themselves into that game?
Are you actually gonna feel what it's like to be in-- you know,
to feel what it's like not to have the gravity on that planet?
And these kids are the ones that are gonna create that.
That's the thing. They're the ones that are going to see this:
"I can make that better."
And they're going to be the ones that take it to that level
where we can't even imagine right now.
- Thanks so much for watching this episode of Adults React.
- Let us know in the comments
what technology we should react to next.
- Subscribe for new videos every single week.
- Goodbye.
- All right, guys. I'm going back to space.
Woo!
