Hasbro 3D iGoggles Hit Target Stores April 3

Picture 21

Toy giant Hasbro Inc. is bringing 3D to your iPhone and iPod.

For about $35, their new goggles called My3D promise to bring a new experience to your Apple devices. Available in black or white, they launch in exclusive at Target stores on April 3; the U.S. retailer has an exclusive for the goggles until June.

The design is a little more streamlined than the version we showed you back in November, but it still looks a little like a View-Master, which first brought the 3D experience to kids in 1939 and slunk off into the sunset due to declining sales in 2009.

Instead of those little plastic discs of the View-Master familiar to kids the world over, with My3D you’ll be able to download special apps from the iTunes store.

There are currently eight free apps available on iTunes, ranging from Tunnel Pilot and Shatterstorm to 360° Shark.

Hasbro promises there will be a mix of gratis and paid content available — likely to include trailers and movie snippets following the 3D film trend.

    Woe to any retailer who releases product news on April 1. Is this real? A joke? I honestly cannot tell.

    Am I the only one to click the AppStore link? Real apps, real product.

    3D is taking all the heat this April Fools.. wait, this is legit?

    Corniness aside, this makes for a handy way to watch stereoscopic content across devices, albeit losing use of the touchscreen. But what about 3D input, not just 3D playback? http://www.3dewitt.com

    How do you control the iPhone with the goggles on?
