Image3D was founded in 1997 by Rich Dubnow, the lead 3-D photographer for View-Master, for over two decades. [9] Dubnow's 3-D photographs for View-Master have been viewed by tens of millions of people in the form of View-Master and Image3D 3-D reels and viewers. Image3D was founded in Lake Oswego, Oregon but is now based in Beavercreek, Oregon.
The company was purchased in 1951 by Sawyer's—the manufacturer of the View-Master—because Tru-Vue had an exclusive contract to make children's filmstrips based on Disney characters.
