  • Publication number: 20240058777
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus and a method for producing a play compound and the play compound itself which, in one embodiment is a compound which sufficiently fluid to be pliable and is typically cold and slimy to the touch. The apparatus and a method provide a powder and liquid to a user, which can be a non-skilled person and thereby allow the mixing of the powder and liquid together by that person to form the play compound outside of a factory environment whilst ensuring that the play compound which is formed has the desired characteristics. Most typically the user which performs the mixing can be the end user, such as a child, who will play with the compound and so the formation of the play compound forms a new part of the play experience.

  • Publication number: 20220047962
    Abstract: A play compound includes additives, which when viewed with 3D glasses, elicit three-dimensional stereoscopic illusions. To present stereoscopic images, the additives in the play compound are viewed through different polarizing filters of low-cost eyeglasses worn by a viewer. As each filter passes only that light which is similarly polarized and blocks the light polarized in the opposite direction, each eye sees a different image. This is used to produce a three-dimensional effect by projecting the same scene into both eyes but depicted from slightly different perspectives. Multiple persons can view the stereoscopic images at the same time.
