Unique in using stereoviews with the left and right images on opposite sides of a single card. The cards were modeled after trading cards—according to the patent, the format allows current manufacturers of 3"×2.5" trading cards to switch over to the production of stereoscopic trading cards without having to make significant changes in their machinery and/or manufacturing processes (Sullivan 1996). A foldable cardboard version of the viewer was also available.

Images swapped for cross-eyed viewing
