Halo Jetpack!

A nice little PR stunt for the upcoming Halo Reach game from Bungie Soft.

Digital View-Master

What do you get when you take two cheap-o LCD key chain picture frames and add it to an classic kids 3D picture disc viewer? You get something magical… No, not really  but you do get a hand held 3D image viewer that you can load up with your favorite stereo pairs.
